91 Points Wine Spectator “A rich, sturdy, muscular style, with plenty of finesse and refinement.”
Tired of wimpy Cabernet! Well, this week we’ve got the cure! A few of you mentioned that last week’s Cabernet special was just a bit too plush and juicy. So we hunted down a replacement with a little more stuffing! The 91 Point 2013 Trinchero Mario’s Cabernet is true to its Napa Valley heritage, offering a wonderfully rich, ripe style that is sure to impress even the most discerning cork sniffers. The darkly complected bouquet delivers impressive scents of tar, tobacco, incense, and toasty oak accented by a wonderful pop of white flowers that lends a hint of levity to this otherwise brooding behemoth. Have a sip and you’ll see that the palate is every bit as dark as the nose. Bittersweet black currants, blueberry jam, and crushed blackberries define the entry while firm tannins and a sleek undercurrent of minerality serve to confidently justify the $60 pricetag. This is the sort of Cabernet that will rock and roll when you pair it up with a hearty Christmas or New Years Eve supper this winter. But it will also age effortlessly in the cellar for a solid decade, delivering a shocking amount of pleasure along the way. At $30 this stout Napa Cab is a freaking steal! Grab some for yourself, your family, friends, and co-workers. Everyone is sure to love this outstanding 91 Point show stopper!
Food Pairing:
Do you have an ambitious menu in store for Christmas or New Years? Something with steak, foie gras, duck, or game perhaps? Have no fear because this is the sort of Cabernet that has the stuffing to take on the challenge and leave you feeling like a fancy sommelier right in your own kitchen. You’ve all heard me say it, I have no excuse for buying more wine. And yet, I’ll be taking a six pack of this outstanding Cabernet home this weekend because I am so excited to have it in my cellar so that I can use it for pairing with the heartiest wintertime meals.
