Arrowood
Réserve Spéciale Cabernet Sauvignon
2015
Knights Valley
Description
Known for its sustainably, organically farmed vineyards, Arrowood is in the warmer Sonoma Valley AVA, with its near-perfect growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was produced to commemorate Arrowood’s 30th vintage. The first sniff reveals black raspberry and mulberry notes, then cedar and herbs. Lush, dark fruit on the palate drives to a long, earthy finish. Pair this with slow-roasted beef tenderloin for a heavenly match.

This wine has aromas of blackberry, fresh fig and licorice followed by fresh notes of dark cherry and violet as the wine opens. Framed by a firm structure and silky elegance with lush texture.
