TASTING NOTES: “This wine expresses medium brick red color and displays bright cherry and rich cocoa notes up front. The palate is rich with a sweet core of fruit - ripe cherry, cassis and wild strawberries. The wine finishes with soft tannins and enough grip to have excellent balance with the acid and alcohol levels. The smooth texture sings of varietal Cabernet elegance with a mid-palate of juicy raspberry coulis with cherry vanilla on the back end.“ (AbV 13.94%)

BARRELS: 14 months in French oak.

PAIRS WITH: “Grilled bone-in pork chops or thick cut cowboy steaks served with a seasoned wild mushroom sautéed and Brussels sprouts slow cooked in butter and balsamic.”

THAT REMINDS ME OF: The many things called “Sierra.” The word “sierra” itself is Spanish for mountain range, but also saw. Probably because mountains from a distance are somewhat like the teeth of a saw. Predictably, there are many mountain ranges named Sierra out there. Weirdly, there is a Sierra Nevada in the US and a Sierra Nevada in Spain. Never really considered Nevada as anything other than a state. Sierra is also a common name, presumably because it sounds pretty. Sierra Entertainment made King’s Quest and Leisure Suit Larry games until it was shut down in 2008. There’s a supercomputer used for nuclear weapon simulations called Sierra. Many Sierras.
