Our neighbor said that he had been saving a Rombauer to share with us. So nice! We had them over for dinner recently. When you are drinking a California Cabernet Sauvignon, a no-fail pairing is with steak.
My husband has perfected his skill in making cold smoked steaks so that is what we had. During dinner, our neighbor said that he had been gifted the 2018 Rombauer Cabernet Sauvignon from someone who had really appreciated the work that he had done. We were honored that he wanted to share it with us.
The wine was very inky purple in color with luscious berry fruits that made it immediately drinkable. On the Rombauer Website, I learned that this wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon,3% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot. The grapes were hand harvested, optically sorted, tank and barrel fermented, basket pressed and racked to French oak barrels for aging.
Our neighbors also brought over the dessert, her home made summer fruit pie and vanilla ice cream! We all enjoyed the get together while sipping wine and having dinner.
