Gift Guide: Eat, Drink, + Be Merry

Cool Hunting included the Chateau Montelena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon in its culinary focused gift guide. The writer notes that “this expressive Cabernet Sauvignon from Calistoga, Napa Valley boasts notes of dried cherries, baking spices, and espresso beans on first open. On the palate, blackberry jam and bright acid counteract its denser aromas.” Adding that this wine is perfect to enjoy now, but suggests to let this sit in the cellar for a few more years to enjoy even more complex notes.
