Red wine | California
Let me introduce you to the Trim Cabernet Sauvignon, a delightful red wine hailing from the sun-kissed vineyards of California. This isn't just another Cabernet; it's a bottle that embodies the passion and precision of the Trim winery. The 2013 vintage, though potentially a bit aged in the current market, still offers an experience with its rich, dry profile that is classic and sophisticated.
Crafted entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, this wine showcases the varietal's strength and versatility. Each sip is a journey through layers of dark, ripe fruit, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and oak imparted from its time in barrels. The balanced tannins and acidity make it a remarkably smooth wine, ready to be enjoyed.
California's unique climate, with its warm days and cool nights, is perfect for producing Cabernet Sauvignon with depth and complexity. Trim, as a producer, focuses on highlighting the inherent character of their fruit, ensuring that each bottle reflects the quality and consistency of their vineyards. You might be looking to experience the depth of a cabernet, while tasting the typical notes of the Region.
With an alcohol content of 13.5%, the Trim Cabernet Sauvignon is a balanced wine to be enjoyed with a nice plate of food. This is an accessible red for both experienced and amateur wine lovers alike. It's best served at around 16°C to bring out all its nuances. No need to let it breathe before enjoying.
This wine is incredibly versatile when it comes to pairing with food. Its full body and structure pair beautifully with grilled meats such as a juicy steak or lamb chops. It also complements hearty stews, roasted vegetables, and mature cheeses. Picture yourself enjoying a glass with a slow-cooked beef bourguignon or a rich mushroom risotto and you will experience why this wine is perfect for your palate. The oaky and vanilla notes work wonders to complement the savoury dishes you might chose. This Trim Cabernet is more than just a wine; it’s an experience, a conversation starter, and a perfect companion to an evening.
Now, you might be wondering about the price. It's generally available for around $20 CAD, which is an incredible value for the quality you get. It's widely accessible in the LCBO store, so you can easily pick it up. Why not treat yourself to a bottle? It’s worth it.
