Try the Lancaster Estate Cabernet

If you’re looking for a fab Cab for a wine night in, try a Lancaster Estate Cabernet from Sonoma Valley. This is a wine that is going to pair best with a rich, hearty dinner – they are complex with deep flavors. I personally would not want to sip on this wine without food.

🍷Order Lancaster Estate Cabernet from Wine.com for $109 (it’s kind of hard to find!)
🍴Pair it with a hearty stew like this mushroom beef stew over egg noodles and crumbled blue cheese

The 2019 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon captures the pure expression of their unique terroir at Lancaster Estate. It is a blend of four of the five of the red Bordeaux varietals they have planted on their volcanic hillside vineyards. The nose is rich with aromas of dark plum, tobacco and black pepper. The palate is deep and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark stone fruit, dried sage and a subtle earthiness.
