Wine: Beef-Friendly Everyday Value

Available at Federal Wines & Spirits

The 2008 Villa San Maurice Cabernet Sauvignon Central Coast was presented to me last week and I was immediately struck by the quality and structure for the price. This is not simple wine. In 2001, Kevin Shanno acquired Villa San Maurice and turned it into one of California’s premier multi-appellation wineries. The Cabernet is balanced with 10% Merlot and is sourced from vineyards in both Paso Robles and Monterrey

2008 Villa San Maurice Cabernet Sauvignon Central Coast: Dark purple, Smokey cassis, black olive and spice. Medium to full bodied with lively acidity and mild tannin. Fresh cherry fruit with a hint of mint. Long balanced fresh finish Very Good Plus 11.99/bottle 10.79/mixed case 10.19/case
