Reviews
This 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterfully crafted blend, featuring fruit sourced from the renowned regions of Oakville, Howell Mountain, Yountville, Calistoga, and Pritchard Hill. The wine opens with captivating aromas of black fruits, dark cherry, and subtle floral notes, followed by layers of ripe black plum, raspberry, and wild berry bramble. Complex undertones of black pepper, mocha, and smoky oak further elevate the aromatic profile. On the palate, velvety tannins provide structure and elegance, seamlessly integrating with the rich fruit flavors. The well-balanced acidity adds vibrancy, leading to a long, polished finish with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of toasted oak. This Cabernet is both powerful and refined, offering depth and sophistication with the potential for graceful aging.

Tasting Notes
The nose of our 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers a deep and intriguing journey, unveiling inky depths and aromatic notes of black currant, cassis, and Madagascar vanilla bean. Complexity emerges with hints of black plum, spiced raspberry, and white pepper, while fresh-cut oak, bakers' chocolate, red apple skin, desiccated rose petals, and worn leather add further layers of fascination. Dusty tannins on the palate provide a structured foundation, framing flavors of a cherry tootsie pop and cooling fresh mint. The wine's juiciness shines through with Rainier cherry, Santa Rosa plum, and juicy red currant, while candied sage adds an herbal twist. In its youth, it exudes charm and allure, with freshness and red fruit character that promises to evolve and refine with time.
