2020 Wine Insiders Ruby Collection Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon

Discover velvety tannins and rich structure in every sip of this Cabernet Sauvignon, specially bottled to commemorate 40 years of Wine Insiders providing expertly crafted vinos and all-encompassing viticulture education. The deep ruby-red hues hint at the complex nose layered with black fruit, dried plum, and toasted spice. On the palate, the wine opens up with intense flavors of prunes and pecans, complemented by hints of vanilla, coffee, and dark chocolate. With a storied history dating back to the mid 19th century, the Barossa Valley in Australia is one of the most historic wine regions in the southern hemisphere. Sixth-generation winemaking families cultivated a long tradition of producing fortified wines, though production is rapidly shifting to bold and peppery reds. Deep siliceous sands and heavy black-cracking clays make up a well-drained landscape, perfect for enriching deeply complex red grapes like those in this Cabernet Sauvignon. Serve this Cab alongside spicy pork and lamb dishes or full-flavored cheeses like Gruyere, Muenster, or Roquefort.
