Hailing from the rugged slopes of Mt. Veeder, the 2012 Paon Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning expression of Napa Valley’s unique terroir, earning a well-deserved 95-point score. This wine captivates with its deep, inky color and complex aromas of dark berries, rich chocolate, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, it unfolds layers of ripe blackcurrant and plum, accented by subtle notes of tobacco and a touch of graphite, showcasing both power and elegance. Perfect for a cozy dinner featuring grilled lamb or a hearty beef stew, this Cabernet not only impresses with its depth but also represents a smart buy for the quality, especially given its original retail price of $110.
