Merryvale Starmont Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Drink now through to 2024. No need to decant before serving.

Pour out a glass of this rich Cabernet Sauvignon and you’ll immediately notice the seductively deep ruby hue and enticing aromas of plum jam, crushed blackcurrants, leather and sweet baking spice. The first sip reveals blackberry, cassis, and cherry flavours along with subtle hints of dried herbs, vanilla and tobacco from the oak ageing which linger long on the tongue.

This sublime Cabernet has an invitingly round and soft mouthfeel and well-integrated tannins which make it incredibly easy to drink. The firm structure means this bottle makes an excellent partner for red meats, especially hearty dishes like beef bourguignon, spaghetti and meatballs, or rigatoni bolognese for a relaxed weeknight dinner or casual gathering. Other sensational pairings include a generous platter of charcuterie, steak served with fries, or even a spicy pepperoni pizza.

Merryvale crafts this stunning Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes harvested in California’s prestigious Napa Valley. These grapes are carefully selected to create a delicious wine that offers incredible value for money and expresses the classic characteristics of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an incredibly versatile wine which is equally at home gracing the table at dinner or being sipped beside the fire on a chilly winter night.
