5 Stars & 92 Points - Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
"Full, deep ruby-red, lighter on edge. The nose is lush and fragrant with cassis, blackberry, plum, vanilla and fine spice aromas. Full-bodied, cassis, blackberry and plum aromas entwined with vanilla and clove. Fine-grained, silky tannins provide an opulent coating on the palate and lively acidity guide a juicy, moreish finish. This Cabernet Sauvignon possesses lush fruit, stylish oak, a fine tannin framework and a juicy finish. Match with grilled meat and short ribs over the next 3-5 years. 13.5% alc."

From one of the most exciting wine regions in California. This Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon is an intense, full-bodied wine with flavors of dark berries and spice. Vibrant aromas of blackberry, cherry, and dark chocolate, with subtle notes of cinnamon and toasty oak. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Syrah, 2% Zinfandel. Aged in 75% French Oak 25% American Oak. The ladybug, the brand icon, is a natural predator of harmful vineyard insects. “Natural predation” is one of many eco-friendly strategies employed in the vineyards to help limit the use of chemical pesticides.

Best food match with short ribs or a juicy burger, grilled veggies or a savoury mushroom rissoto.
