Cardinale is an iconic wine from Napa Valley, California, and is considered one of the region’s top wines. This wine is a blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from some of Napa Valley’s most prestigious vineyards, including Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, and Spring Mountain. The result is an elegant and complex wine with a deep ruby color and a rich aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, cassis, plums, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice.
On the palate, Cardinale is powerful and opulent, with velvety tannins and a perfect balance between the ripe fruit and well-integrated acidity. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which adds depth and a hint of vanilla and toast on the finish. Cardinale has great aging potential and evolves beautifully after several years of bottle aging.
Cardinale is an excellent accompaniment to luxury meat dishes such as grilled entrecote, rack of lamb or a classic beef Wellington. The richness of the wine also goes well with game dishes, such as venison or deer, and mushroom risotto. For cheese lovers, matured cheeses such as an old Gouda or a firm blue cheese go beautifully with the full flavor of this wine.
