Jon Lester Presents... 
"CabernAce"
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Healdsburg, California
Benefiting the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
Rich deep burgundy hue with aromas of blackberry and currant and elements of toasted oak, chocolate and spices. On the palate, flavors of blackberry pie with hints of ripe black cherries, sweet oak and white pepper. Maintains dryness with firm, yet supple tannins. Great paired with roasted and grilled meats such as lamb, prime rib or porterhouse steak.
Jon Lester knows the importance of overcoming barriers in
life and on the diamond. Less than two years after being diagnosed with
lymphoma, he pitched the biggest game of his life, helping his ballclub win a
world championship. That’s why proceeds from Jon Lester’s CabernAce support
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the development of targeted
immunotherapies. This pitch helps researchers maximize the body’s own ability
to strike out and eliminate disease so lymphoma patients can win their own
games in life.
