Descrizione

The Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford by Elizabeth Spencer best expresses the elegance and complexity that characterize the wines produced in this renowned area of the Napa Valley. In appearance, it shows an intense ruby red color. On the nose, the notes of ripe red fruits, such as cassis and plum, are evident, enriched by nuances of chocolate and a slight hint of vanilla, originating from skillful aging in barriques. On the palate, the wine reveals itself to be structured and well-balanced: the lively acidity blends with mature and soft tannins, leading to a long and persistent finish that leaves hints of sweet spices and a slightly toasted aftertaste.

Ideal for accompanying robust dishes, such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses, this Cabernet Sauvignon represents a distinctive choice for those who love wines of great intensity and complexity. A true gem of Elizabeth Spencer that tells the viticultural art of Rutherford through every sip.
