The Luxury Gift of the Season

​When you think about wine, the word “luxury” often comes to mind. While French Bordeaux, Pinots from Oregon and Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand are often on the list of luxury wines, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons belong at the top of the list. So, when I received a bottle of 2014 Napa Valley Cabernet from Freedom Estate, I expected something tasty, but what I received was something far greater than I ever expected.
​
When I opened my package from Freedom Estate, I was blown away (very impressed…) by the beautiful packaging. My bottle of Cabernet came luxuriously tucked inside a velvet-lined wooden box fit for a princess. I almost didn’t want to open it because it was so beautiful.  I just wanted to leave it in the box and look at it! But alas, my curiosity got the better of me and I finally decided to pop open the bottle with some family and friends.

Upon opening the bottle, I was greeted with the aromas of dark chocolate, cola and leather. As I swirled my glass, I picked up notes of vanilla and toasted oak. Then came my first sip. I was pleasantly greeted by the warm flavors of tobacco and blueberry and beautiful soft tannins.

​This wine would be the perfect pairing for a juicy burger, a big steak or a rich chocolate dessert. I definitely will be buying more to share this holiday season. Plus, the packaging makes for the perfect impressive gift for that special someone! I could not recommend this wine more.
