Substance 'Cs' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Substance Cs Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is a bold, deeply colored, and exceptionally pure red wine crafted to deliver an authentic, small-batch style expression of classic Washington Cabernet. This compelling, value-driven bottle bursts with inviting aromas of dark chocolate-covered cherries, black plums, mocha, and fresh aniseed, seamlessly underscored by savory hints of dried herbs, cedar, and No. 2 pencil shavings. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied, concentrated experience that is beautifully firm yet creamy and plush, carrying soft, grainy tannins and a refreshing acidity through to a layered and remarkably long finish.

Food Pairing: This structured and fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye steaks, gourmet beef burgers, slow-braised short ribs, or rich tomato-based pasta dishes.

92 Points - James Suckling

Dark chocolate, nutmeg, sage and blackcurrants on the nose, followed by a full-bodied, focused and juicy palate. Firm yet ripe tannins. Drink or hold.
