"Aromatics of deep, regal, dark fruits, with hints of baking and savory spices, leap out of the glass. The palate promises rich, dense blackberry, Olallieberry, cardamom, tobacco, chocolate cocoa nibs, and a lip-smacking finish. Decant and Enjoy. Pair with grilled bone-in rib-eye, rosemary herbed butter, creamer potatoes." — Tonya Pitts

Method is an innovative négociant project born from the combined passion and expertise of Master Sommelier Ian Cauble (featured in the documentary "Somm") and vintner Trevor Sheehan of Precision Wine Company. This dynamic team's mission is to create wines that offer quality far exceeding their price point. Using their extensive connections as leading wine industry professionals, they meticulously source small lots of fruit from some of the most iconic and highly regarded vineyards across California, including Napa Valley, Sonoma, Lake County, and Mendocino. This philosophy of using the "crème de la crème of fruit" from top organic vineyards is at the heart of their approach.

The 2023 Method Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the idea that a great winemaker and a Master Sommelier can create something truly unique. Winemaker Trevor Sheehan, whose journey began ten years ago with a focus on crafting expressive California wines, and Master Sommelier Ian Cauble, whose palate and attention to detail are legendary, collaborated to produce a wine that is both opulent and balanced. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted with a minimal intervention approach, ensuring the purity of fruit is maintained from the vineyard to the bottle. The result is a wine that is full-bodied, rich, and generous, yet approachable and delicious now.

The 2023 Method Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding wine that does not disappoint. It boasts opulent aromas of blackberry, cassis, dried thyme, and notes of Tahitian vanilla, which tremble into rich, mouth-watering flavors of dark plum, clove, and silky tannins. The palate is muscular and plush, with a deep core of fruit wrapped in notes of cacao and tobacco leaf. It has a long, creamy, and velvety finish that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

This rich and vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent partner for a wide range of dishes. The producer recommends pairing it with grilled bone-in rib-eye with rosemary herb butter, and creamer potatoes. Its plush texture and dark fruit core also make it a superb accompaniment to a variety of flavorful aged cheeses and robust grilled dishes.
