WINE OVERVIEW
Areyna Cabernet Sauvignon is a savory, polished Cab that punches above its weight. Hand harvested from estate vineyards, including one with incredibly rare 93-year-old pergola Cab vines, it overdelivers with elegance and balance rather than chasing big concentration.
Tasting Notes
“It opens with notes of olives and light cassis, plus subtle spice and a soft bell-pepper tone. Dry, with well-polished tannins and a touch of bell pepper on the palate, the flavor holds steady. Very good for its price.” - Vinous
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled pork tacos, stuffed peppers, and meatloaf.
