Fortunate Son, Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat, 2019
🏰A critically acclaimed wine from Jayson Woodbridge of Hundred Acre fame, now run by his son Cameron, the Fortunate Son Cabernet Sauvignon The Diplomat 2019 is sourced from heritage micro-block sites in Napa Valley, embodying a commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The 2019 vintage is described as riper and substantially more expressive than its predecessor, presenting a plush, luscious, and full-bodied profile. Expect 【dense black cherries, mocha, and loam notes, alongside smoky herbs and earthy goodness】. It's an elegant, expansive wine with juicy red cherry fruit and sweet, savory baking spices, leading to a long, silky finish.
🍴 This powerful Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect match for bold, rich foods such as grilled red meats like steak, lamb chops, and ribs, or roasted beef and duck. It also harmonizes beautifully with mature cheeses like aged cheddar and Gouda, hearty stews, and even dark chocolate. For vegetarian options, consider mushroom bourguignon or lentil-walnut meatballs.
🥂 Ideal for special occasions, impressing connoisseurs, or a luxurious dinner. This wine has excellent aging potential, with some critics suggesting it will benefit from a few more years in the cellar. Serve at 15-18°C (60-65°F), and decanting for 30-60 minutes is recommended for younger bottles to soften its assertive tannins.
