Mettler Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Product description

Drink now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant before serving. The Mettler family have been grape growers in California’s Lodi Valley since the late 1800s and today every aspect of the winemaking process is in the capable hands of the family. The Mettlers insist on farming organically and in the most sustainable way to ensure the land is preserved in perfect condition for the future generations of the family who will take care of this beautiful property. Their Cabernet Sauvignon is a generous, full-bodied red wine which combines rich dark fruit flavours courtesy of Lodi’s warm climate with an Old World elegance and finesse. On the nose there are inviting notes of cassis, black cherries, and dark plums while the first sip reveals black pepper, baking spice and blackcurrant notes. The prestigious review magazine Wine Enthusiast recognised the quality and exceptional value of this delicious wine, awarding the 2014 vintage an impressive 92 points. The power and concentration of this classic Californian Cabernet make it a wonderful match for red meats including a prime steak, beef bourguignon, or smoky barbecued ribs. The well-developed structure will help this wine develop gracefully if cellared over the next five or so years.
