Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021 Lot #139

Part of the fun in shopping at Trader Joe’s is the treasure hunt. This kind of shopping experience is meant to be fun no matter what you’re searching for, and when you discover a gem of a wine, the payoff seems even more gratifying. And wouldn’t you know it, Trader Joe’s Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021 Lot #139 is currently where X marks the spot! Ahoy!

This is a classic Napa Cab—opulent and rich. It’ll be no surprise when you find out that the blend comes from the same vineyard blocks as some big brands, including grapes from Yountville, Oak Knoll, and Oakville. Crimson and amethyst hues lead to the discovery of crème de cassis, blackberries, cocoa powder, tobacco, and black tea aromas. The rich flavor and unctuous mouthfeel ease into a long, luxurious finish. This wine will gracefully age for ten-plus years, but it also opens elegantly right now, ready to enjoy with our Butternut Squash Risotto with a generous portion of grated Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio. And you can’t miss if you pair a glass with your TJ’s Premium Angus Rib Eye. (We recommend opening it 30 minutes or more prior to serving.)
