SILVER MEDAL, 2002 LOS ANGELES COUNTY FAIR WINE COMPETITION. Lots to like here, the abundantly rich '99 Turning Leaf Coastal Cabernet is drinking very well now; great for mildly spiced meat dishes.
Meatball sandwich
Cabernet Sauvignon's boldness matches the hearty meat and cheese.
Seasoned curly fries
Cabernet Sauvignon's boldness complements the strong seasoning and crispiness.
Grilled or pan seared beef
Cabernet Sauvignon's bold tannins complement the rich flavors of beef steak.
Marinated skirt steak
Cabernet Sauvignon's structure and dark fruit match the rich, savory meat.
Spicy Spanish sausage
Cabernet Sauvignon's structure stands up to chorizo's fat and spice.
Green herb based mole
Cabernet Sauvignon's structure supports the dish's bold flavors.
