DAMAGED LABEL: Arkas Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast 2023 (750 ml)

**** DAMAGED LABEL ****

Arkas Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast 2023 is a richly textured red wine crafted by ARKAS, a boutique California producer guided by a minimal-intervention philosophy in both the vineyard and cellar. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown within California’s expansive North Coast appellation, the wine benefits from the region’s warm daytime temperatures, cooling coastal influences and varied vineyard soils. The 2023 growing season produced moderately sized, intensely flavored berries with healthy, deeply colored skins, resulting in a Cabernet that combines concentration with freshness, balance and precision.

Aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry rise from the glass alongside notes of violet, dark chocolate and baking spice. Rich and creamy on the palate, the wine delivers layers of blackberry, cocoa, dried herbs and delicate floral character, framed by fine-grained tannins that carry through the smooth, lingering finish. Pair this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with grilled steak, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, hearty mushroom dishes or aged cheeses such as cheddar and Gouda.
