Flavor Profile
Rocky, rugged Navarra is often overshadowed by its popular neighbor, Rioja. But the wines of Navarra can be just as wonderful—if you know where to look. Our local expert got a tip about an estate crafting some seriously delicious Cabernet, and she hit the road to learn more. She discovered that they typically use it to ‘beef up’ their blends and were excited to showcase the quality of their 100% Navarra Cab to our customers.
We can’t wait for you to try it—especially if you’re a fan of Bordeaux’s famous reds. Judges at the New York International Wine Competition were so impressed, they awarded it 95 points and a gold medal.
You see, this oak-aged Cab is closer in style to Bordeaux than the juicy bottlings of California. It’s medium bodied with flavors of fresh black currant and blackberry, plus subtle spice notes and structured tannins. So it’ll have nice fruit flavor and finish on the dry side, making it an excellent wine to pair with food.
Locals enjoy it with a plate of Manchego cheese and slices of Iberico ham, but it’ll also hit a homerun with steak, burgers, winter stews or a hearty roast.
Limited cases available—hurry to secure your share.
