Wine of the Week-Fortune 1621 Cabernet Sauvignon

A friend of mine recommended this Cabernet and it is a great bottle. This wine is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with 10% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. The combination makes a wonderfully full bodied berry flavor that is great for drinking on it’s own or with a meal.

I had to look up the meaning of the name given to this wine. Turns out in 1621 a ship named Fortune brought over the second wave of settlers just after the Mayflower. I am sucker for wine titles with a story!

This 2016 red is from Napa Valley, California.
