Fiancetto Cabernet Sauvignon ‘Gravelly Loam’ 2012: A knockout Napa Cab loaded with layers of fresh cassis and blackberry fruit with hints of cedar and cocoa. Region: Napa Valley, California. Price: $30. Goes with: Porterhouse steak. Why I chose it: The poor gravelly loam soil makes the roots for these vines dig deeper, bringing amazing minerality and freshness up to the grapes that really show in the wine.
Recommended by: Vine & Co. in Bedford Hills. This is Bottle No. 9 of our 12th Mixed Case series.

For 12 weeks, we feature a wine, and include tasting notes and suggestions for pairings. At the end of the 12 weeks, we’ll review our Mixed Case, and recap the choices. Each mixed case will be chosen by a local wine shop owner, who will also become our wine expert-in-residence during his or her tenure. (So should we need recommendations for a holiday, for example. we’ll ask.) We’ll get a new expert for each case. Right now, we’re working on our Mixed Case chosen by Jen Lucia of Vine & Co. in Bedford Hills.
