2020 Evermore Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting notes
The ninth vintage of Evermore comes from gnarly ancient Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted at Dionysus Vineyard in 1973 (Nixon was prez) and 1999 (Clinton). The wine unfolds with a nose of cherry, blackberry, earth, tobacco and crushed stone. The palate rocks rich, expressive blackberry, currant, dusty dried herb and espresso flavors, all wrapped in fine, silky tannins. Mouthwatering acidity and dynamic tension will roll this lovely Cabernet Sauvignon seamlessly into the future and beyond.
Food pairing: Beef or Wild Mushroom Wellington
Movie Pairing: It’s a Wonderful Life
FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
If they made 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in Pauillac, it would taste a lot like Evermore. Elegant with all the stuff, not too much. We poured the lovely 2014 at the Wine Spectator New York Wine Experience to rave reviews. Also, really tasty.
