2020 SVS Northridge Cabernet Sauvignon

2020 SVS Northridge Cabernet Sauvignon
Milbrandt

Introducing the 2020 Northridge Cabernet Sauvignon, a masterpiece of luxurious complexity and depth. This exquisite wine opens with enticing aromas of black currant and black cherry, interwoven with dark roasted coffee bean and tanned leather notes. On the palate, it delivers a big, rich mouthfeel that is both opulent and satisfying. The ample tannin structure provides a perfect balance, enhancing the wine's robust character and ensuring a long, rewarding finish.

The exceptional quality of this wine is rooted in the unique characteristics of the Northridge Vineyard. Located on a gentle south-facing slope above the historic Missoula flood plain, the vineyard's soils are a blend of ancient, deep soils and fine sand dust from windblown loess. This combination results in remarkable fruit expression and intensity, giving the 2020 Northridge Cabernet Sauvignon its distinctive and captivating profile. This vintage is a testament to the vineyard's extraordinary terroir and exceptional winemaking, promising an unforgettable experience for wine enthusiasts.

I love everything from the Northridge vineyard, and this wine definitely does not disappoint. The earthy-ness and minerality that I always look for with this vineyard shines brightly yet is still very balanced with notes of blackberry and cherries. I paired this with some carnitas tacos (don't judge me) and OMG DELICIOUS! The fattiness of the meat was exactly what I could ever ask for in a pairing and then some. This is a must try! That being said, while this wine is amazing, I recommend getting at least 2 bottles. One for now and one to age a few years!
