Aromas of blackcurrants, iodine, oyster shell, and dark chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied with polished fine tannins that run the length of the wine with chocolate, hazelnut, and blueberries. Give it time to come together. Better after 2025.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of creme de cassis, chocolate mint, and redcurrant preserves leap from the glass with underlying suggestions of crushed stones, mossy tree bark, and cast-iron pan. The full-bodied palate is rich and impactful, with bright red and black fruit flavors and a firm grainy texture, finishing long and lively.
