Scaia Cabernet Sauvignon

2021 - First of all they produce this cab in part similar to a Valpolicella because they dry 50% of the grapes passamenti style for one month to concentrate the flavors and press the other 50% to retain freshness in the wine; The wine shows it's inkyness right away with an opaque purple color with a fuchsia rim. Dense aromas of black cherry, currant, black raspberry, blue-ish fruits, purple flower, chocolate and spice. Juicy, dark berry fruits invade all parts of the mouth with silky leathery tannins and suede like finish. An enjoyable wine on its own yet pairs up nicely with a standing rib roast w/ roasted root veggies, a wild mushroom stuffed flank steak or chicken mole.--Finn
