BLOCK 217 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
This Washington State Cabernet bursts open with a mouthful of blackberry, blueberry, currant
and herb flavors that mingle harmoniously with cedar, spice and a hint of mocha. Pair this juicy red with grilled red meat and fall vegetables or tomato-based pasta dishes.

This wine is fresh and fruity with subtle hints of soft melted butter and mild oak. Aromas of vanilla tropical fruit ripe melon and a hint of spice. This socially active wine is the perfect brunch accompaniment as it pairs marvelously with eggs benedict or steak béarnaise.
