Some wines are meant to be age, and then there are those that are excellent while young. We can be technical and analyze the tannins, structure and complexity, when in reality, a lot of wines are perfect at the time we decide to open them - because we and our company chose to have it at that moment.
With girls night tongiht, we had 2 bottles of Napa Cabs - a gourmet night of Tartine Country bread, spanakopita, French onion soup, Four barrels coffee rubbed steak, garlicky oven roasted asparagus, paired with our Flora Springs 2006 Cabs, and heavenly chocolate almond ganache raspberry tart. Contrasting flavours that balanced each other in harmony.
The Cabs were as sweet as we experienced in the winery tasting room, fun and lively! They continued to evolve through our 4 plus hour dinner, blossoming to richer flavours.
When do you open your wine? the question, we pondered this evening - and it really is - whenever we and our company are in the mood for that bottle that moment.
