Loosening the strings a bit last night, I prepared a dinner of: boeuf haché dans le style d'Hubert Keller pomme de terre cuite carottes dans le vinaigre de cidre brocoli cuit à la vapeur
With it, I opened a recently acquired Santa Rita Reserva 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. I have always been fond of Santa Rita's style, but this example seems to have shined brighter than usual. Fruit, plums, nectar, a hint of Vanilla and soft accessible Tannins came to the fore. This probably would not be a candidate for another twenty years - but then, neither am I. ;-)
