Yalumba The Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - Shiraz

A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Shiraz, The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz gives a deep garnet-purple color and intense cassis, coffee and menthol aromas with hints of dusty earth, underbrush, black truffles and a whiff of lavender. Very fine, elegant and medium-bodied in the mouth, there’s just enough fruit and savory flavors to balance the crisp acid and firm fine tannins.

Cabernet Sauvignon pairs very well with salami and pairs reasonably well with medium-bodied, firm-textured cow's milk cheeses like Swiss Gruyere, Comte, and Swiss and Beemster Classic.Taleggio, an aromatic washed-rind cheese from Northern Italy, also makes for a decent Cabernet Sauvignon pairing.
