Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
93 Points Vinous
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Katherine Goldschmidt is bold and explosive in the glass. A rush of black cherry, plum, graphite, chocolate and new leather makes a strong opening statement. Juicy and super expressive, this Alexander Valley Cabernet packs quite the punch. A whole range of savory and earthy notes linger on the close.
92 Points Wine Enthusiast
This luxurious Cabernet delivers focused aromas of raspberry coulis, black plum compote, fresh herb mélange and dark chocolate on the nose. The palate delivers age worthy tannin and balancing acidity, with flavors of crushed Bing cherries, mint, cinnamon and purple flowers that linger along the richly textured finish. Great value here.
91 Points James Suckling
Ripe, full-bodied and opulent, with plush, generous fruit. Cherries, blackberries and cloves on the nose. Big, mouth-filling flavors of plums, strawberry jam, vanilla and spices. A creamy palate with abundant but soft tannin.
Winemaker Notes
This wine shows an abundance of wild cherries, black raspberries, crushed rock and spice with striking concentration and balance.
Food Pairings
Dark fruit flavors and beautiful structure make it a lovely wine for food pairing. This wine’s elegance, acidity and spice notes complement grilled or roasted dishes, such as herb-crusted lamb, roasted duck or grilled pork loin. The wine’s earthiness even compliments vegetarian dishes, ratatouille or roasted root vegetables.
