Our DEFENDERS brand stems from the partnership of two military veteran vineyard owners, paying homage to those who sacrifice so much to protect others. This label highlights our Blue Star Families who hold down the “Homefront” while their military family member serves. This small-batch Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and complex, having been aged on French oak for 18 months. This wine pairs well with fatty red meats, semi-hard cheeses, and grilled vegetables. Only 156 bottles of this year’s limited-edition were produced. Choose to savor this wine now or let it age to perfection over the next 12 years. For the optimal tasting experience, please open or decant for 30 minutes prior to drinking. –Rocco
