Greenwing by Duckhorn Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2023

Carrabba's wood grilled sirloin steak, topped with spinach, grilled tomatoes, garlic, basil and a five-cheese blend, deserves a good Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Greenwing by Duckhorn  was a perfect fit.

Deep and dark color. More black than red fruit tones but fresh and vibrant. Blackberries, pomegranates, plums. Tastes sweet next to the Goldeneye Pinot Noir but sleek and elegant. Silky texture. Perfect companion to the steak.

Greenwing is considerably less exensive ($15 to $20) than Duckhorn Cabs from Napa, and, though I am not a big Cabernet fan, it is now on my buy list.
