Dolum Estates Cask 11 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dolum Estates Cask 11 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 pours a deep, ink-like ruby red color into the glass, boasting rich highlights at its rim. The bouquet is highly expressive and forward, unfolding with concentrated aromas of bright red cherry, wild blackberry compote, and dark cassis, seamlessly framed by a good dash of oak spice, vanilla, and sweet tobacco leaf. On the palate, this full-bodied Californian red delivers a lush and velvety texture. Its powerful structure relies on a firm core of dark stone fruits and berry compote, beautifully supported by tightly woven, refined tannins and a fresh, lively acidity that keeps it energetic. The finish is remarkably long and harmonious, closing with lingering accents of baking spice, mocha, and a subtle savory touch.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with grilled prime ribeye steak, slow-braised venison stews, rich pulled pork, wild mushroom risotto, or hard artisanal cheeses.
