Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon

This Cabernet is gorgeous. Its generous body and deep flavors of mocha, tobacco and cassis make it an unbelievable pairing with a nice filet. Cabernet Sauvignon, especially from California, is a really wise choice for gifts. Consumers may be more familiar with domestic wines, and (even better yet) may have travelled to that particular winery. Want to really be a hero? If your recipient has done some winery travel, gift him or her with a Reserve selection from that winery. You’ll probably get a couple complimentary babysitting sessions or mowed lawns out of that deal. (Of course, it’s better to give than to receive, but if you totally nail the gift, then why not reap the reward?)
