Grebennikoff makes a mere 100 cases of this Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon per year with 20% merlot from estate vineyards. Oddly enough, you won't find this wine on their website, nor will you find it in any retail stores. However, you'll find it--dutifully nicknamed "The Diesel" by Seth Mandeville--BY THE GLASS at L'Espalier or by the bottle at any Sel De La Terre.
Full-bodied, balanced, and aromatic with flavors of black currant, mint, eucalyptus, earth, and cedar with well-integrated tannins and a long, juicy finish. Think steak or better yet, braised short ribs.
