Cabernet Sauvignon

Interesting

Red · Full · Dry

The benchmark for full-bodied red — structured, age-worthy, unapologetic. Black currant, graphite, and tobacco lead into firm tannins that demand protein on the plate. Decant young bottles; cellar the serious ones.

Why it works with White Chocolate Tower With Dark Chocolate Mousse

Big Cab with dark chocolate — tannin meets cocoa's bitter edge in surprising harmony.

Why it works with Dark Chocolate Mousse

Sauternes

Classic

Bordeaux's legendary sweet white — Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc hit by noble rot, then patiently fermented. Honey, apricot, candied citrus, and a finish that lasts a small eternity. Pair with foie gras, blue cheese, or a fruit tart.
