My wife and I had a big reason to celebrate recently which usually calls for charcoal grilled steaks at our home. A few years ago a found a great deal on a half case of this wine from Vivino (~$35/bottle) that I snagged up.
I absolutely love this wine. It’s so meaty on the nose with scents of bacon and leather. You also get some strong cherry and blackberry. It’s a very balanced and elegant wine upon tasting compared to what you are smelling in your glass. A nice control of the tannins and acidity as well. Paired so well with this NY strip! Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the bottles over the years to come.

Thanks for sharing your wine and steak story, made me hungry 😂
Nice score, that wine now wholesales for over $70 per bottle.
I too love the 2104 vintage, but aren’t you drinking it a bit young?
Asparagus usually kills my palate for tannic reds, did this pairing work?
It looks so good
