Mark Herold Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Mark Herold Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 pours an exceptionally dense, saturated purple-black color in the glass. The bouquet explodes with effusive aromatics, opening with concentrated layers of ripe blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis, and crushed granite minerals, beautifully balanced by underlying hints of roasted espresso bean, suede leather, sweet tobacco, and dried wildflowers. On the palate, this full-bodied, hedonistic red wine delivers an opulent cascade of dark black and purple fruits. Its robust structure is supported by firm yet remarkably supple, velvety tannins and a lifting acidity that flows seamlessly into a powerful, extraordinarily long finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with charcoal-grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised beef short ribs, roasted rosemary lamb chops, wild boar ragù, or mature hard cheeses.
