Flavor Profile
The Bay area’s basketball triumphs have been cause for great local celebration in recent years. The Assist is one of the most important, powerful and unselfish moves in the game, motivated by one thing only: to bring greatness home. And it sure did, thanks to the excellent 2021 vintage. It even scored 92 points and a gold medal at the Sunset International Wine Competition.
Here, Cabernet Sauvignon (aka the King of Reds) received an important assist from California’s brilliant sunshine and the warm, dry 2021 growing season. Little snow in winter and a lack of rainfall also meant lower yields of concentrated fruit and early picking, so "wines made from all varieties"—like this delicious Cabernet—"show greater flavor concentration and natural intensity" (JancisRobinson.com).
With exuberant black currant, blackberry and subtle spice flavors, The Assist will be a slam dunk with roasted meats, barbecue dishes, vegetarian chilis and more.
You don’t need to be a basketball fan to appreciate this exclusive Cabernet. Secure your share today.
