5/5
Dry, middle body. Middle taste is not empty, unlike other Cabernet Sauvignons. It’s the best Cabernet Sauvignon wine I’ve ever tasted.

Absolutely a delight to drink, heavy of vanilla and biscuit, almost butter tasting. Middle body of black currant. Would buy again!

Best cabernet sauvignon ever experienced. Strong aroma immediately hits. Typical cabernet sauvignon aroma but full of luxury. Proper tannin and acidity makes this one drinkable as it is. Soft but bold texture. Very enjoyable!

Wine Education 101: How To Build the Perfect Charcuterie Board  We tested @wineenthusiast’s recommendations on making the perfect charcuterie board so you don’t have to. Check out our favorite tips for your next occasion below!  1) Choose a serving platter that best holds your cheese—it can be a cutting board, marble slab, large plate, etc.  2) Plate your cheese an hour in advance, as this makes it easier to cut.  3) Try clustering—placing cheeses with the rinds facing inward and the pastes (or cut sides) outward, with accoutrements piled in the middle—with complimentary pairings close by to encourage combinations.  4) Get creative with accompaniments. Choices like fresh or dried fruit and toasted nuts increase the number of options and flavor combinations.  5) Provide pre-cut bread and crackers to cleanse palates between bites.  And here’s one last tip from us: Pair with your favorite wine! We love Submission Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay.
