Celebrate National Drink Wine Day with Something Worth Sharing

There are few pleasures in life as timeless and soul satisfying as sharing a great bottle of wine with someone you care about. That is exactly what National Drink Wine Day is all about. Celebrating community, connection, and the joy of savoring something exceptional. If you are looking for a wine that elevates the occasion, look no further than the Companion Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016.

Why This Cabernet Is Worth Celebrating

Cabernet Sauvignon has long been one of the world’s most revered and iconic wine styles. Bold, structured, and full of personality, it is a varietal that commands attention. Napa Valley is especially known for producing Cabernets that beautifully balance fruit, oak, and texture, making them perfect for a celebration like this.

Companion’s 2016 Napa Cabernet stands out not just because of where it comes from, but how it was crafted. This vintage is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on Mt. Veeder, one of Napa’s most dramatic and storied sub appellations, and aged 18 months in 100% new French oak. Those barrels add depth, fine grained structure, and aromatic richness that make every sip memorable.

In the glass, you will find intense oak and blackberry character, smooth and well integrated tannins, and a subtle hint of tobacco that adds depth and intrigue. The result is a full bodied wine with both elegance and bold personality. It is a bottle made to be opened, poured generously, and shared.

Pair It with the Perfect Foods

A Cabernet like this calls for dishes with depth and richness. Think a perfectly seared filet mignon or a beautifully marbled ribeye, where the wine’s structure and tannins meet savory flavor head on. Herb crusted rack of lamb is another elegant pairing, highlighting the wine’s layered fruit and subtle tobacco notes. For a vegetarian option, a rich mushroom pasta or creamy polenta brings out its earthy complexity. And of course, an artisanal cheese board with aged cheddar, gouda, or blue cheese makes for an effortless yet impressive match.

For the best experience, allow the wine to breathe for 30 to 60 minutes before serving. That little bit of patience opens up the aromatics and enhances its balance and depth.
