WINE DESCRIPTION
Match Vineyards' Butterdragon Hill Cabernet Sauvignon hails from the St. Helena AVA in Napa Valley, showcasing the estate’s commitment to producing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. The Butterdragon Hill vineyard benefits from its ideal location on the lower slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, where the combination of volcanic soils and a warm, dry climate fosters concentrated and balanced fruit. The winemaking approach focuses on small-lot production and careful aging in oak, resulting in a wine that expresses the rich character and complexity of the Napa Valley terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Cabernet Sauvignon greets the nose with deep aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, and a touch of cassis, complemented by hints of cocoa, cedar, and sweet spice.On the palate, it is bold and structured, with bright acidity and velvety tannins that frame flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and earthy undertones. The finish is long and layered, with lingering notes of toasted oak and a touch of minerality. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, braised short ribs, or aged cheeses. It can be enjoyed now, but will benefit from cellaring to further develop its complexity.
