Goosecross Cellars is pleased to release our artisan series 2004 ÆROS Cabernet Sauvignon (AEROS Cabernet Sauvignon and pronounced “Eros” for the winged god Cupid). You now have the opportunity to own one of the most limited-production and sought after wines produced by Goosecross Cellars. “This wine is made especially for our customers who demand the very best and have a passion for collecting and cellaring wine” states David Topper, Goosecross winery Owner and President.

This ÆROS blend is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Cabernet Franc and 2.5% Petit Verdot. Grapes were hand-selected from the finest lots grown in our Howell Mountain and Yountville Estate vineyards. This Cabernet exemplifies a sensual expression of purpose, form, and passion.

ÆROS 2004 is elegantly fragrant with aromas of black cherry, plum, cedar and spice. Generous layers of boysenberry, tobacco, anise and toasty oak linger on the palate. Absorbing and expressive now, but will continue to develop in the cellar for years to come.

It’s great to showcase a rare wine like this with simple, but elegant food. There’s something to be said for tradition, and pairing ÆROS with a good steak or prime rib of beef is excellent. Or try it with rack of lamb. The richness of the lamb makes a hedonistic partner for the rich complexity of ÆROS.

There are many more recipes to choose from in Colleen’s Kitchen recipe collection.
