My Favorite Neighbor, Denner Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles 🍷
I’m uncorking this beautiful Cabernet from a boutique winery in Paso Robles. The Denner Cab is a rich, full-bodied wine that takes on notes of dark black currant, rich cinnamon, and rosemary on the nose. On the palate, you’ll get hints of graphite, sage, and tobacco. The silky tannin structure is balanced with beautiful acidity and cherry flavors. This wine is packed with full flavor and complexity. $80. (Currently Pavilions is running a deal for $48!).
