Plungerhead Cabernet Sauvignon Lodi 2018

Deep purple in color, with dark alluring aromatic notes of blackberry, molasses, leather, cinnamon and toasted cedar with hints of mint and rosemary. The first sip shows juicy flavors of dark ripe cherry, raspberry compote, graham cracker pie crust and toasted marshmallow. The finish is long and drying with notes of plum, vanilla and toasted pecan.

To stand up this rich Cabernet Sauvignon, pair with heartier dishes such Italian sausage over penne pasta with Bolognese, pork ragout over polenta, wood-fired meat pizza, or lasagna.

This agreeable, full-bodied wine offers a good combination of ripe black-fruit flavors, ample oak spices and a moderately tannic texture that gives good grip. It tastes ripe and welcoming and feels warm and mouthfilling.
