2021 Amavi Cellars Estate Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Walla Walla Valley, WA

From: Walla Walla Valley, Washington, USA Varietals: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot Taste and Critical Acclaim: “Rarely do I encounter a wine where the amped-up acidity is matched by tannic structure as firm as a granite wall. I also enjoy the way the wine's aromatic set comes off as similar to a slice of blueberry cheesecake. The flavors are brisker, with boysenberries, dates and orange zest holding court.” —Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast, 91 points Pairing: Structured, classically opulent, rich red wines from the US are benchmarks for iconic pairings. Dishes that feature dry-aged steaks (like dry-aged USDA prime ribeye), homemade burgers, grilled portobello’s, bacon-wrapped dates, roasts, and braises are all fantastic candidates for the perfect pair. Amavi Cellars shared this recipe for Cassoulet on their website as their specific pairing recommendation with this wine. Enjoy! About. Amavi Cellars was established in 2001 in Walla Wa
