KANPAI Hi No Tori Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa

WHY WE LOVE IT:

• Crisp, full of bright red fruit and citrus zest.
• Very versatile wine which compliments a wide range of foods. 
  
• The winemaker is a highly sought after viticulturist with amazing accolades.

WINEMAKER: Steve Matthiasson has been named Winemaker of the Year from both Food & Wine Magazine and the San Francisco Chronicle and is a six-time 
nominee for the prestigious James Beard Award. 

WHAT WE TASTED:

From Cabernet grown specifically for a rosé bottling, this lovely pink sipper offers aromas of Satsuma mandarin, pink grapefruit and pretty florals, while the palate is juicy with nectarine and strawberry. This baby Cab works. Sip well chilled all season long!

AVA DESIGNATED: Oak Knoll, Napa. Meadowbrook Farm estate vineyard is a cool, moderate microclimate located between Mount Veeder and Dry Creek in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. 

WHAT WE PAIRED:

• Farm market snap peas with tahini dip
• Bruschetta bar aplenty with semi-soft sheep cheese, fruit and pistachios
• Crispy lechon asado tacos with jalapeño cream

PERSONALITY:  Japanese for “Bird of Fire”, this is the wine that started it all. The origami phoenix on the label symbolizes our birth from the 2017 wildfires. Vintners Peter Chiang and Azumi Kubo share a deep love for food and hospitality and hope that each bottle reflects this sentiment. Each wine is crafted with a purpose and the dream that it will be enjoyed to the fullest.
