A mouth full of red and black berry fruit flavors await with every sip of Canvasback 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Red Mountain vineyards of Columbia Valley, Washington State.
The wine is rich with velvety notes of baking spice and herbs, which makes it perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. It will bring out all the juicy herbed flavors surrounding the Turkey and complement the aromatic herbs in the dressing and side dishes. Pumpkin pie, with its notes of cinnamon, cloves, and other spices, just makes the wine taste that much better.
There’s a nice, warm finish to this wine that just makes you want to sit by a cozy fireplace or fire pit and sip and enjoy. There’s nothing complicated or snooty about this wine. It’s meant to enjoy now.
A full-bodied, concentrated wine with 15% alcohol, this is a big wine, but it presents itself with a great deal of reserve. You can enjoy it anytime and feel right at ease with it. This is from the Duckhorn Vineyards family of wines. You might know them from their famous Napa Valley Merlot and their moderately priced Decoy Series. Same idea. Same great wine.
