Fit Turkey Wrap

Cabernet Sauvignon 13% Santa Rosa, CA. This medium – bodied wine has hint of notes of cinnamon crisp spice apple.

Remove the capsule and cork from the bottle. Pour a small amount into a glass to check aroma and quality. If desired, decant the Cabernet for 30–60 minutes to allow the medium-bodied wine to open and reveal its cinnamon and crisp apple notes.

Open and decant

Serve slightly below room temperature: ideally 60–65°F (15–18°C). If the bottle has been stored warm, chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before serving. Avoid serving too cold, which mutes aroma and flavor.

Temperature

Pour 5–6 oz (150–180 ml) per serving into a large-bowled red wine glass to concentrate aromas. Hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine.

Pouring

Swirl the wine gently to aerate, then inhale to detect cinnamon, crisp spice, and apple notes. Take a small sip and let it coat the palate to appreciate medium body and balanced tannins.

Tasting notes

Wash and thinly slice half a cup of crisp apple. Arrange slices on the cheese board or serve alongside the glass for a complementary fresh note that highlights the wine's apple aroma.

Prepare apple garnish

Place one cinnamon stick on the serving tray or gently wave it near the glass before serving to add a warm spice aroma that echoes the wine's cinnamon notes. Do not stir into the wine.

Add cinnamon aroma (optional)

Cut approximately 3 oz of assorted cheeses into bite-sized pieces and arrange on a board. Suggest aged cheddar or gouda for richness and blue for contrast. Pair cheeses and apple slices with the Cabernet to complement its medium body and spice characteristics.
