Elizabeth Spencer: Mendocino Cabernet – A Californian Classic

The Elizabeth Spencer Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon offers a distinguished take on Californian winemaking, focusing on elegance and purity of fruit from the esteemed Mendocino County. This luxurious red, crafted with organically grown grapes, presents a compelling balance between rich, concentrated fruit and a sophisticated, structured palate. It’s a superb choice for those who appreciate a full-bodied wine with grace.

The Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• Appearance: A striking, deep garnet colour.
• Aromatics: Exquisite aromas of black cherry, sun-dried blackberry, and cassis, weaving a tapestry of rich chocolate, velvety caramel, and subtle hints of licorice and baking spice.
• Taste: Confident and full-bodied on the palate, with a caress of silky tannins and gracefully balanced acidity. Luscious ripe black fruit flavours are enhanced by vanilla and a touch of earthy tobacco. The finish is enduring and leaves a lasting, fine impression.

Perfect Serve

A wine of this calibre deserves a pairing to match. Serve at cellar temperature (around 17°C) with classic British roasts or hearty fare.

• Serving Suggestions: Slow-Cooked Lamb Shoulder, Beef Wellington, or a robust venison stew.
• Decanting: Recommended for 30-60 minutes to open up the complex aromatics.
