Description

The Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County is a classic expression of California Cabernet. This wine hails from vineyards blessed with the perfect balance of sunshine and cooling breezes, resulting in grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. It is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, potentially with small additions of other Bordeaux varietals for complexity. On the nose, you'll find aromas of ripe black cherries, cassis, and a hint of cedar. Oak aging contributes notes of vanilla and spice. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and a long, elegant finish. It is approachable and food-friendly, making it a great choice for a variety of occasions. Serve it at around 60-65°F (16-18°C) to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. Decanting for 15-20 minutes before serving will allow the wine to open up even more.

This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled meats like steak or lamb. Its fruity notes and balanced tannins also make it an excellent partner for tomato-based dishes like pasta with Bolognese sauce or a hearty lasagna. For a vegetarian option, try it with roasted vegetables or a mushroom risotto. It’s also delightful with a cheese board featuring aged cheddar or Gouda. What sets Louis M. Martini apart is its unwavering commitment to crafting exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The winery's long history and dedication to quality make it a reliable choice for both casual drinkers and serious wine enthusiasts. Sonoma County's terroir, combined with Louis M. Martini's winemaking expertise, results in a wine that is both delicious and representative of the region.
