St. Colleen takes pride in this elegant, supple, and approachable style of
Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a reflection of the unique qualities of our vineyard
as well as specialized winemaking techniques that emphasize fruitiness. To make
the wine even more enticing, a variety of Bordeaux varieties were blended
in to broaden the flavor spectrum, adding deeper structure to the Cabernet. For
instance, Cabernet Franc typically has bright cherry flavors and chalky tannins,
a perfect compliment to the blend.
This Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed now in its youth or cellared for
several years for additional complexity. In its youth, this wine would be best
paired with a full-bodied meal. How about marinating a steak overnight in a
mixture of last-nights red wine, crushed black and pink peppercorns and a touch
of garlic? For a less time-consuming dish, try beef ribs and mashed potatoes.
