Pomorum 2023 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley Red Wine,
$60.00
This captivating blend lead with 82% Cabernet Sauvignon is defined by its maturity and depth, sourced from vines planted nearly five decades ago. Winemaker Dylan Pecchenino utilized 12 months in French oak to polish a blend that includes Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a touch of Malbec. The aromatic profile is immediate and inviting, characterized by fine-grained mineral tones, vibrant berries, and a unique touch of cilantro-spiced wood.
Expect a palate that is poised and energetic, offering a sturdy backbone of tannins that never feels heavy. The wine’s bright acidity keeps the fruit core lively, unfolding into a long finish layered with lead pencil and savory scrubland notes. It is a brilliant snapshot of a long, cool growing season—ready to pour now with savory pork loin or tucked away to age gracefully for a special occasion.
