WINE OVERVIEW
Areyna Cabernet Sauvignon is a savory, polished Cab that punches above its weight. Hand harvested from estate vineyards, including one with incredibly rare 93-year-old pergola Cab vines, it overdelivers with elegance and balance rather than chasing big concentration.
Noteworthy Distictions
Tasting Notes
“It opens with notes of olives and light cassis, plus subtle spice and a soft bell-pepper tone. Dry, with well-polished tannins and a touch of bell pepper on the palate, the flavor holds steady. Very good for its price.” - Vinous
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled pork tacos, stuffed peppers, and meatloaf.
