Robert Sinskey Point of View (Bordeaux Blend) Napa '18

The 2017 vintage of POV opens with floral aromas of violet and rosemary, followed by a fruit stand of crushed berries and ripe plum, blackberry, black plum, currant, and black cherry. The impeccable Cabernet Franc shines with notes of lavender, bay laurel, rosemary, and fennel backed by olive and dark chocolate, while the Merlot adds a hint of blueberry. The finished cuvée has a sense of precision with firm tannins and a mouthwatering crispness, keeping the wine youthful for years to come. The three varieties of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon harmonize brilliantly, providing a complex and earthy flavor profile. Enjoy now or cellar for the long haul. Pair with lean beef, wild game, or lighter meats, as well as pasta with tomato sauce and roasted veggies. A good and sharp Vermont Cheddar pairs well with this handsome and deliciously enjoyable wine.
