2021 Bacchus Cabernet Sauvignon

The Bacchus label was created by David Gordon, one of New York’s first recognized sommeliers, and the person responsible for the Wine Spectator Grand Award-winning wine list at Manhattan’s famed Tribeca Grill restaurant. The restaurant opened in 1990 by restaurateur Drew Nieporent and actor Robert DeNiro. Gordon, who is self-taught, began learning about wine in the 1980s just as Kevin Zraly was beginning to educate America on the world of wine. Bacchus is his attempt to to produce affordable by the glass wines.

This daily drinking cab is a blend of Paso Robles and Central Coast fruit, ripe plum, black currant, and blackberry flavors with a touch of mint. Cedar and dusty earth emerge on the balanced finish with velvety tannins.
