Provenance Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvignon, 2000
Rutherford- Napa Valley
Purchased: Wedding Gift from Mr. and Mrs. Matt Allard
Price: ??? (We could look up the price, but that would be tacky)
Drank: October 9, 2004
Who: Thadd and Alice
Note: We enjoyed this wine with a juicy two-day marinated flank steak. We thought we could save a few dollars on a piece of flank, but we quickly learned that flank steak isn’t that cheap after all. Born in Rutherford, CA, dust, this Provenance wine is outstanding with a smooth, sweet taste with a spicy aftertaste. It is rich in black cherry and plum flavors that linger on the palette. Toasty cocoa and toffee essence makes it perfect for a fall evening. Would go well with food or without – it certainly complemented our steak nicely.
Ranking: 8.5/10
