NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Upon pouring, Snowden's "The Ranch" Cabernet Sauvignon presents an alluring deep ruby hue.The nose is immediately greeted with a bouquet of dark berries, cassis, and hints of chocolate, layered with undertones of tobacco and earthy forest floor. As it evolves in the glass, subtle hints of oak spice and graphite begin to emerge. On the palate, the wine offers a harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors, especially blackberry and plum, which is balanced by well-integrated tannins and a touch of savory herbs. The finish is both long and elegant, showcasing the wine's impeccable structure and balance. While already approachable, this wine has the depth and structure to age gracefully, revealing further complexities with time. Pair it with robust dishes like grilled steaks or lamb to fully appreciate its depth and character.
