The 2021 **Encosta** Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon shows a classic Napa profile of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, with notes of cedar, cocoa, and a touch of dried herb. It is **full-bodied** yet polished, with firm but fine-grained tannins and enough freshness to keep the wine balanced. The finish is long and layered, with dark fruit and savory spice lingering after each sip. In style, it sits comfortably in the lane of a more structured Napa Cabernet, with a nod to wines from Rutherford-like territory.
Serve it with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or a simple roast chicken with herbs.
