2020 Catastrophe Cabernet Sauvignon
Catastrophe is an incredibly bold blend of cabernet sauvignon with a kiss of cabernet franc. This wine is a fighter, as you would expect from something born into a vintage that will forever be known for its fires. The spot-on acid and tannin fight for your attention and attack the front and back pallet but never comes across as ponderous for all of its mass. Blueberry and cherry flavors dominate, but there are significant notes of chocolate, mandarin orange, and hints of fresh toast. This lively wine is the perfect style for big hearty dishes.
