As you swirl the glass, you’ll be greeted by an inviting aroma of ripe blackberries and subtle hints of oak. These come from the aging process in oak barrels.

Imagine this Cabernet Sauvignon paired with a juicy grilled steak or lamb, or perhaps with hearty stews and rich sauces, allowing the wine to complement the dish perfectly. This wine would also be a lovely companion to an assortment of cheeses and charcuterie. For the best experience, serve this wine at around 18 degrees Celsius and let it rest for about 30 minutes before enjoying. This will allow the wine to fully open up and reveal all of its beautiful flavors and aromas. The Pickett Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect pick for a relaxing evening at home, for a gathering with friends, or even for a special occasion. The quality and taste make it a true standout, and it is always a good choice. If you appreciate high-quality wines that tell a story, then the 2022 Pickett Cabernet Sauvignon is for you.
