DOESN'T WORK
Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa, USA, California
Red, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
No. The bitterness kicks in right away in the middle of the palate. Because the wine is driven by tannin and mineral, pyrazinic textures, it turns metallic. When I put pyrazine and spice together it tastes like gun metal.
