22 Black

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Why 22? Well, there's the atomic number of Titanium, the stealthy F-22 Raptor, Catch-22, and the number of bones in your head. Start it off with 19 and you have the year that brought us Eskimo Pie, the Hollywood Bowl, Jack Kerouac, Ava Gardner, Charles Schulz, and Kurt Vonnegut. There's the fact that there are 22 balls in snooker, 22 players on a football field, and it's the number of the NFL's all-time leading rusher. There are also the classic roulette scenes in The Sting, Lost in America, and, of course, Casablanca. Number 22, one helluva number.

One hundred percent of the grapes are from relatively cool sights, including 91% from hillside vineyards, creating big lush tannins.

A wine as bold and charismatic as 22 Black is the perfect foil for rich, decadent culinary dishes such as espresso rub New York steak, beef bourguignon, Italian hearty Pastas w/ Oregano, Shitake Mushrooms, and Black Raspberry Sorbet.
