Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a red for the person who lingers over dinner and likes a wine with something to say. Made from estate-grown fruit in the High Valley of Lake County, California, the 2021 Reserve opens with ripe black plum, cassis and blackberry, then adds violet, black licorice and a touch of black truffle. On the palate, juicy blackberry and blueberry meet dried herbs, citrus zest and dark chocolate, held together by integrated oak and fine tannins that give it real structure. It makes a thoughtful milestone gift for a promotion, an anniversary, or a thank-you to a host who keeps a cellar, since it can be opened over a special meal or set aside for future enjoyment. Fans of full-bodied Cabernet will appreciate its balance of power and poise, and its long, cocoa-tinged finish with a mineral freshness. Suggest they decant it for half an hour or so and pour it into large Bordeaux glasses so those aromatics can open up.

- Wild mushroom and truffle risotto — Earthy minerality and hints of black truffle on the nose echo the mushrooms and deepen the dish.
