My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied red from Paso Robles, California, at 13.4% ABV.
The wine was inspired by the close friendship between three neighboring vineyards in Paso Robles and pays tribute to favorite neighbors everywhere.
It is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.
Layered aromas of red cherry, currant, raspberry, wild herbs and violets carry a hint of toasted marshmallow, with ripe plum, fig compote, black cherry, coffee and crème brûlée on the palate.
It finishes long and mineral, with hefty structure and silky tannins.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
