The United States holds a special place in Cassandra's heart. It's the country where her parents' love story began, where she goes to visit them regularly and each time dreams of staying there a little longer.

Dressed in deep hues of black cherries fresh from the garden, this Cabernet Sauvignon features aromas of ripe cassis drifting from a coastal breeze.

Balanced and complex with well-integrated tannins, this soft and supple wine leaves the mouth full of sunshine and spices.

Cassandra recommends pairing it with deliciously robust dishes like steak in wine sauce decorated with Maître d’Hôtel butter, simple marinara pasta with meatballs, or pistachio-crusted rack of lamb.
