Spring is here, which means it’s time to create sensational wine and food pairings that bring out the best of the season. While temperatures still hover between chilly and warm, a red wine and roasted leg of lamb are the perfect option.<\/p>\r\n

Cabernet Sauvignon is well suited for the transition to warmer temperatures<\/strong>, as the bold, bright red and black fruit flavors with hints of spice pair easily with both hearty and lighter fare. Cabernet Sauvignon is indeed more versatile than many people believe, and can be enjoyed with different cheeses, meats, vegetables, and even certain types of fish.<\/p>\r\n

For a classic bottle, consider Sequoia Grove Winery\u2019s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon<\/a>. This tempting red wine maximizes the distinct flavor characteristics of its origin, the Rutherford Bench, one of Napa Valley\u2019s most revered growing regions for Cabernet.<\/p>\r\n

This dish balances well-seasoned lamb with the acid in citrus to create a delicious pairing for this elegant Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\r\n
