Viader 2012
Suggested Food Pairings:
VIADER is a leading first growth Napa Valley estate established in 1986 by Delia Viader and located at 1300ft only eastern slopes of Howell Mountain. Viader is recognized around the world for consistently producing high quality, very limited production red wines and red Bordeaux-style blends.
The distinctive Viader Proprietary Blend shows the typicity and consistency of the Viader estate, with its firm structure influenced by the rocky volcanic soils of the eastern slopes of Howell Mountain, and its elegant, yet intensely rich profile achieved through our signature combination of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Tasting Notes
Explosive aromatics of ripe red fruits, cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and rose petals with burnt caramel notes. The ripeness of fruit contributes to a superb mouthfeel that is bold and balanced with incredibly smooth supple tannins. Intense spices grace the finish. This vintage especially lives up to its popular nickname for the Viader blend, “Liquid Cashmere.”
Food Pairing
Pairs well with braised bone-in short ribs with demi-glaze and roasted rainbow carrots
