San Pedro 1865 Selected Vineyards 2026 Year Of The Horse Cabernet Sauvignon 2023, Las Piedras, Maipo Valley D.O., Chile: San Pedro's 1865 Selected Vineyards 2026 Year of the Horse Cabernet Sauvignon from Las Piedras, Maipo Valley is a powerful, full-bodied red wine offering notes of black cherry, ripe plum, dark chocolate, and fresh mint. This dry wine displays textured tannins and impressive structure that will continue to soften over the next six years. Serve it at room temperature with grilled prime rib as the wine's bold character stands up to the marbled beef, or pair it with herb-crusted rack of venison where the wine's minty notes complement the gamey meat. Winemaker Viviana Navarrete crafts this velvet-textured Cabernet from younger vineyards on the second terrace of the Maipo River, where gravelly soils create wines of remarkable concentration and complexity. San Pedro's 1865 range honors the year the winery was founded, and this vintage represents a marked improvement that now sits comfortably alongside the estate's finest offerings. This mouth-coating Cabernet punches above its weight and will drink beautifully through 2032. Cabernet Sauvignon food pairings: prime rib, juicy steak, game, rustic bread, turkey.

Sparkling Wine
Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery Charmat Sparkling, Ontario V.Q.A., Canada: Ravine Charmat from Ontario opens with aromatic layers of ripe peach, green apple, orange blossom, and honeysuckle with hints of fresh citrus zest. Off-dry and medium-bodied with lively acidity and persistent bubbles, it dances across the palate with zesty stone fruit character and closes with a crisp, mouth-watering finish. Serve it well chilled through 2027. Lydia Tomek, who graduated at the top of her class from Brock University's Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture program and became one of Canada's youngest winemakers at age 23, crafts this multi-vintage blend of Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Viognier from the organically farmed fifth-generation Lowrey family farm, where the unique terroir of the St. Davids Buried Gorge sits atop an ancient Niagara River channel that flowed 22,000 years ago. Pair this versatile sparkling with cured meats and aged cheddar on a charcuterie board where the wine's bright acidity cuts through the richness, or enjoy it with pan-seared scallops as the crisp bubbles complement the sweet, delicate shellfish beautifully. Sparkling food pairings: cured meats and aged cheddar charcuterie, pan-seared scallops, fish tacos. Drink: 2026 - 2028 49215 12.4% D 750 mL $24.95 Score: 91/100. January 2026.
