2020 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Be Human Cabernet Sauvignon - Aquilini Wine Shop

DESCRIPTION

The winemaking method for our Columbia Valley Be Human Cab began with the grapes delicately hand picked, destemmed and fermented on the skins for ten days before being aged for 19 months in New American Oak. This personalized process by our winemaker Joshua Maloney adds to the brightness and fruit on the palate, in addition to it being a very drinkable wine now. Pairs well with cured hams like serrano, prosciutto or sliced country ham.

90 points: Best Buy, Wine Enthusiast
