Phire Blue Estates 2020 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Rosewood Vineyard

$55.00

2020 Phire Blue Estates Bordeaux Blend From our Healdsburg vineyard, this Bordeaux-inspired blend brings together the power of Cabernet Sauvignon with the elegance of Cabernet Franc. The 2020 vintage opens with aromas of blackberry, plum, and cassis, layered with floral notes, dried herbs, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, dark fruit richness is balanced by the Cabernet Franc’s lift of red currant and savory spice, framed by fine-grained tannins and a supple texture. Complex yet approachable, the wine finishes long and vibrant, with the structure to reward careful cellaring for years to come. Pairing: Roasted lamb, grilled ribeye, wild mushroom risotto, or firm aged cheeses.
