Plum, black cherry and dark berry fruit sit beside mellow notes of cocoa, cedar, tobacco leaf and sweet spice, giving the wine a warm, settled feel. The palate is smooth and supple, with softened tannins, savoury depth and a graceful finish that feels ready for a good meal and an unhurried evening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e: the roast is resting, the candles are lit, and the bottle wants to do the talking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairs with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: roast lamb, grilled steak, duck, mushroom ragù, beef stew, aged cheddar or herb-roasted vegetables.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCafaro Cellars is the work of Joe Cafaro, a long-standing Napa winemaker whose career reaches back to 1969 and includes time at respected estates such as Chappellet, Keenan and Dalla Valle.
