One of the best wineries in Napa near St. Helena

Anderson’s Conn Valley Vineyards in Napa Valley, a 10-minute drive from downtown St. Helena, is one of the best vineyards in the Napa Valley area. The Conn Valley Cabernet has been rated one of the top Cabernets in the world since the inaugural vintage of 1987. The fruit is more similar to mountain fruit than valley floor fruit, and the style is more Bordeaux in style than other Napa Cabs, with more dark fruit and a very refreshing finish that makes it perfect for food pairing. The Conn Valley Cabernet is a chef-style wine, because chefs find it easy to pair this wine with just about anything. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate praises the 2012 vintage for its “terrific purity, plenty of depth and ripeness, and a full-bodied mouthfeel” and describes the 2010 Cab as “an elegant, finesse-styled effort to enjoy over the next decade.” They also offer Estate and Signature Cabs, which are of particularly high quality. Wine club members save $25 on the 2013 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon online. If you’re looking for a good wine to serve at a special occasion, order a bottle today.

Cabernet Sauvignon, perfect for barbecues

BBQ and Cab

With summer coming to an end, there’s still time for a last few barbecues. The perfect wine to serve at a barbecue is a Cabernet Sauvignon. A world-famous red wine with notes of blackcurrant and tannins that stand out, the Cabernet Sauvignon goes well with wild fowl, honey-roasted carrots and such fine dishes as aged cheeses. Best of all, it’s perfect for serving with grilled red meat — especially lamb or well-marbled beef. Try serving the wine at 14 to 16 degrees centigrade to get the full flavor.

Some wine clubs give you the chance to collect a whole series of Cabernet Sauvignons, from Napa Valley or around the world. Like all wine, it should be stored in a place with steady temperature and humidity, less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit and humid enough that the cork doesn’t dry out. If you’re serving it on a hot day, let it chill for a few minutes first.
