The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is rich, racy and super-expressive. Silky and deep, with notable resonance, the 2021 offers up dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, new leather and licorice. Today, it is a very young wine in need of cellaring, but its potential is evident. Dollops of Petit Verdot and Malbec round out the blend. This should be positively stellar.

The 2021 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, with 7% Petit Verdot and 7% Malbec in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. After a swirl or two, it races out of the glass with vibrant scents of crushed black and red currants, fresh blackberries, and mulberries plus hints of lilacs, black olives, and tilled soil. The full-bodied palate is tightly wound with black fruit and floral layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and layered.

Cassis, currants, graphite, crushed stone, and some tobacco and sappy herb notes all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, a beautifully textured, full-bodied, Oakville Cabernet that has some classic iron and olive notes with time in the glass. It's one heck of a classic Cabernet from this team that will keep for 15+ years if well stored.
