My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon
My Favorite Neighbor Cabernet Sauvignon
Dry, dark and plush, with a savory edge. This is a full-bodied Cabernet with ripe fruit and firm structure. The nose shows black cherry, cassis and raspberry, with violet and warm spice. The palate brings blackberry, plum and tobacco, with cedar and dried herbs. French oak adds cinnamon and toast. The tannins are structured but well integrated, and the finish is long and chewy.
My Favorite Neighbor is the flagship Cabernet of Eric Jensen of Booker Vineyard in Paso Robles. Jensen created it as a tribute to his mentor, Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure. The fruit comes from grower sites around Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo County. The wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Malbec, Syrah, Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot. It is aged in French oak, a good share of it new, and bottled at around 14.8% ABV in a 750 mL bottle.
Drink now or hold several years. Decant for 30 minutes and serve with grilled tri-tip.
