2021 Monte Serena Winemaker’s Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
This 2021 Monte Serena Winemaker’s Selection Cabernet Sauvignon from the rolling hills of California is more decadent than your average red.
This full-bodied Cabernet has flavors of black cherry, black currant, and cedar that are a delight on the palate. The last sip will leave you with a smooth finish, a more subtle aroma of thyme and baking spices, and even a slight graphite aftertaste. This red is relatively dry with medium-high tannins.
Part of California’s Central Coast, Monterey has established itself as one of the state’s premium wine-growing regions, producing high-quality wines on par with those from Napa or Sonoma. Warm sunlight is tempered by cooling air, allowing a longer growing season. Slowly maturing grapes offer concentrated flavors, which Monte Serena winemakers skillfully harnessed to present a wine that captures the varietal beautifully.
This tasty red is enjoyable with grilled chicken or something heavier like a meat-lovers pizza, a big plate of nachos, or a zesty BBQ chicken dish.
