For convenient pairing with your favorite tailgate grilled dishes – When you bring a bottle of the 2020 Beaulieu Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($40) to a tailgate party, you are bringing a bottle of wine with balanced acidity and smooth tannins, making it an elegant and versatile pair for a wide range of dishes including gourmet burgers, BBQ ribs, or a selection of premiere cheeses. With each sip, you will find the palate is plush and inviting with ripe red berries, cherry compote and raspberry preserves supported by silky voluminous tannins and a mouthcoating texture that provides a lovely weight, finishing round and sumptuous.

For those who crave bold, fall reds when the season changes – Look no further than the 2021 Stags’ Leap Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($70) This wine is known for its robust and full-bodied flavor, an attractive flavor profile which many reach for as soon as the leaves begin to fall in autumn. You will find this wine’s flavors of ripe dark plum, black cherry, classic redcurrant and hibiscus flower support savory Chaparral sagebrush notes of lavender and Bay Laurel, while the fruit remains bright and boisterous, enveloping the mouth with a medium to full body and lip-smacking appeal.
