Conn Creek’s **2021 AVA Series** Cabernet is a polished Napa red with ripe dark fruit at the core and a layered, savory frame. Depending on the AVA in the three-pack, expect notes of blackberry, cassis, plum, violet, cedar, spice, and a touch of tobacco or mineral character. The wines are generally medium- to full-bodied, with an elegant texture and a finish that stays balanced rather than heavy. The style is reminiscent of classic Napa Cab in a more restrained, food-friendly register, closer to a refined St. Helena or Rutherford profile than an overtly jammy bottling.

Serve it with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, or mushroom ravioli.
