Parallel Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2017
If you are looking for a fresh and long but spicy finish, you should check out this lush four-year-old. A brawny concentration of dark chocolate, spice cake, black currant, and prunes give it a firm and full-bodied structure. Midpalate, there are touches of dried herb, sage, and tobacco for a complex layer. Overall, it will work well with steak dishes.
