Steele Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
The iron-rich, red soil of Red Hills is laden with obsidian, a glassy black volcanic rock that glistens in the afternoon sun. Well-known Napa Valley grape grower Andy Beckstoffer bought up a piece of the Red Hills AVA, planting in Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varietals. We have been receiving grapes from this vineyard since 2002.
The grapes are pressed to stainless steel tank and undergo 2-3 week fermentation with an extended maceration to extract every ounce of flavor. This wine is then laid down in French oak barrels to age for a year. This wine has a rich, fruit-forward elegance. A spicy fruit and berry core, backed up by soft tannins.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is a lovely wine for casual sipping among friends. Pairs perfectly with any kind of red meat like a spice-rubbed rib eye steak or rack of lamb.
