7 y Michi Cabernet Sauvignon

This complex California Cabernet Sauvignon is a light garnet color nearing ruby. On the nose a brilliant perfume of candied red fruit, red roses, and black leather brace the senses.

A hint of green banana melds with notes of anise and orange rind follows. Round and unctuous on the palate are a burst of black cherry, slight medicine chest and dried herbs de Provence. Fine grained tannins meet you at the finish line coupled with a dusting of freshly kneaded dough. Apple blossom and lemon zest are tied together with vanilla bean, reminiscent of a lemon tart topped with whipped cream.

Emilio Kapetillo was a professional gambler all his life, who loved to play a card game called 7 y Media, very similar to Blackjack. When he pulled the last card to win, instead of saying “7 y Media” he would say “7 y Michi” because it brought him good luck.

He would eventually name his grandson Michi. 7 y Michi is a tribute to Emilio Kapetillo, the luckiest and most humble gambler ever, who always wanted to transfer his luck through an excellent crafted wine.
