Riveter Red recognizes the women who stepped up in World War II to keep the US strong. While Rosie the Riveter is the most recognized from the artwork series, we’ve selected Wendy the Welder for this Cab. In the original version, Wendy the Welder was toasting a cheese sandwich for lunch using her blowtorch. On our label, her welding gloves are still in her lap, and she’s holding a bottle to go with her grilled cheese.
Riveter Red never disappoints, the tenth vintage of our consistently stellar Cabernet has had two years in barrel and two years of bottle aging. Your nose is hit with red fruits like raspberry and black cherry before transitioning to more dark, luscious black fruits on the palate. It’s rounded out by French oak barrel qualities of chocolate, leather, and tobacco. A quick 20-minute decant before serving, and the beautifully balanced tannins will delight throughout dinner. This wine is drinking well now, and will also lay down well in your cellar – if you can wait.
Food: grilled meats, ratatouille, mushroom risotto, hearty cheeses like gruyere or parmesan
