We recently had some family out to visit that had arrived with this great bottle of Cabernet from EOS. (Paso Robles, CA) Filled with aromas of toasted oak, black cherry, berries and molasses, this wonderful red wine did very well with our grilled tri-tip steak. Tastes of raspberries and plum with a nice long finish of dark chocolate and spice really made our evening enjoyable. What a great full-bodied gift!

Food pairing ideas:
Serve with grilled meats, prime rib or aged cheddar cheese.

And in case you were wondering where the “EOS” came from…
The EOS Estate Winery was named after “Eos,” the “Goddess of the Dawn” in Greek Mythology. Eos was the inspiration for the winery’s harvesting of its Estate winegrapes before, or right after the sunrise, to keep the fruit cool and help retain fresh varietal character.
