"Deep garnet in hue, the 2021 En Garde Touché Cabernet Sauvignon commands attention as a bold and elegant expression of Napa Valley’s Diamond Mountain District and Atlas Peak AVAs. The nose unfolds with layers of wild blackberries, fragrant spice, and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, this full-bodied and finely structured wine delivers vibrant energy and a long, persistent finish marked by finesse and depth. For a refined pairing, consider Cantonese-style Wagyu beef with black garlic and shiitake reduction—the luxurious marbling and umami-laden sauce elevate the wine’s dark fruit, while the earthy mushrooms and sweet-savory glaze mirror its spice-laced complexity." - Wilfred Wong
