kathryn’s wine pick: band of vintners Cabernet Sauvignon
Kathryn’s Wine Pick: Band of Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon
“Band of Vintners Cabernet from the Napa Valley is a wine lover’s dream in a bottle. As we head into the “-ber” months, I tend to gravitate towards big reds to pair with a meal, charcuterie board, or chocolate dessert. Band of Vintners Cabernet is perfect for any meal or a "night in" when watching your favorite shows curled up on the couch. I love the story of how this wine came to fruition! It started with seven friends who pooled their talents and resources to create the best wine possible at the most affordable price. This wine has notes of ripe black cherries, raspberries, and dry herbs, leading to silky tannins, all influenced by French oak and only the best farming practices. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this everyday drinkable Cabernet. A crowd pleaser for sure! Band of Vintners Cabernet will surely be your new favorite in these upcoming months and most likely year-round. Cheers!”
