Laird Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 (California)

We purchased this wine on a recommendation from a friend and fellow wine lover. I have tasted many Laird wines and have never been disappointed so I was not afraid to try it! Laird Family Estates is in Napa California.

On the pour this wine was deep red with aromas of cocoa and spice on the nose and hints of vanilla pipe tobacco. Fruit forward palate with black cherry and current, subtle notes of blackberry jam, plum and chocolate with a bit of herb. Lingering finish with earthy notes. Full bodied, soft tannins and easy to drink!

I served this wine with maple glazed baked ribs and garlic mashed potatoes and it paired very well.
