NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Matanzas Creek Armoniza, a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, and 18% Malbec from Knights Valley, USA, is a harmonious symphony of flavors.On the nose, it greets you with a bouquet of ripe blackberries and currants, mingling with subtle hints of cedar, vanilla, and a touch of violet. The palate is a rich tapestry of flavors, where the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a firm structure and dark fruit intensity, the Merlot adds a velvety smoothness with notes of plum and cherry, and the Malbec contributes a delightful spice and a lingering, plush finish. This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled ribeye steak, roasted lamb, or hearty mushroom risotto.
