A jewel-tone ruby red, Beaulieu Vineyard’s 2022 Reserve Ranch 1 Cabernet Sauvignon charms the nose with a sultry drawl of rich blackberry, rhubarb, turmeric and sweet cinnamon aromas that rise luxuriously from the glass, marked by a touch of graphite and powdered with dark chocolate notes imparted by barrel wood. Generous on the palate, fulsome flavors of ripe cherry and tamarind intertwine with a sweet texture and knit brightly, seamlessly teasing a lengthy finish that tastes of dried cherry and black currant. The perfect choice for charcuterie, this attractive wine will also pair well with sausage and fennel seed flatbread, and silky chocolate mousse.
