Mission Codename Thoroughbred
This Paint Horse Winery 2006 Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic example of Sonoma Valley Cabernet.
This is a big Cab with great structure and very well-integrated tannins. As it breathes, it opens to reveal softening fruit, leather, and spice components. Drinking beautifully now, today’s wine still has plenty of life left in it.
Enjoy this darkly layered wine with bold meat dishes. Prime rib would be the perfect selection, with the fats in the meat serving to cleanse the palate of any tannin build-up. Bon appétit!
