Again is a brawny yet soul-warming Cab Sauv, the kind of wine that can be poured alongside the most elaborate or the most rustic of meals and feel equally at home with either. The nose of fresh spearmint, bramble fruit and blackcurrant leaf calls to mind a late-night walk through a cozy, wintry forest, wrapped up in the most luxurious blanket of velvety tannin. The palate is dense, yet strikingly silky: imagine the subtlest note of Madagascar vanilla cutting through a heavenly slice of rich black forest cake. Well-integrated tannin and balanced acidity lead to a decadent, plummy finish sprinkled with pine needles and baking spice. Savour this gorgeous red with braised short rib and truffled mashed potatoes if you’re feeling fancy, or sticky Southern BBQ for a raucous good time.
