Terra Valentine — Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Spring Mountain District
Deep ruby with a rim of garnet. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, and dried plum are layered with bay leaf, cedar, and graphite. On the palate this Cabernet opens with concentrated dark fruit — blackberry and blackcurrant — balanced by savory notes of tobacco, leather, and anise. Firm, fine-grained tannins and bright but integrated acidity give structure and length, while toasted oak and a hint of baking spice linger on the finish.
Food Pairing:
Aged hard cheeses like aged cheddar or Pecorino
Herb-rubbed roast beef or grilled ribeye
Mushroom and caramelized onion tart
Charcuterie with smoked meats and black pepper salami
Serving
Ideal serving temperature: 60–64°F
Decant 45–60 minutes for best expression
Cellaring potential: 8–12+ years depending on storage
