The Ultra-cab returns to show us what it can do—powerhouse, year after year. Fantastically dense violet/ruby color—it oozes body and exudes strength—and that's just on first whiff! Notes of rich black currant and cassis are in the forefront with the minerally gravel and faint lead pencil notes to balance. Strong finish that was aged in neutral oak barrels (20+ months as a matter of fact), providing the toasty vanilla accents. Tingly tannins and balanced acidity provide structure and backbone.
Pair it with a seared NY strip steak and smashed new potatoes in herb-garlic butter and charred broccolini with shaved parmesan.
