2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
In Stock
94 Points - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is absolutely gorgeous. Rich, layered and persistent, the 2021 is all harmony. Expressive floral and savory overtones meld into plum, blackberry, spice, tobacco and chocolate. All the elements are so nicely balanced. This is a superb appellation-level Cabernet.
94 Points - Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter
Generous, expressive, and nicely framed by a solid core of dark berry fruit and silky fine-grained tannins, the wine has excellent staying power on the palate, layered with slatestone minerals, savory dried herbs, and salted dark cacao aromas and flavors.

Production Notes
The grapes for our red wines arrive in small picking lugs from the vineyards. The clusters are hand sorted, de-stemmed, and hand sorted again, berry-by-berry. After a two-day cold soak, primary fermentation begins in small, open-top stainless steel tanks, followed by extended maceration. The fruit is then gently pressed, and the wine is moved to barrels for secondary fermentation. Our reds are then aged up to 24 months in 100% new French artisan oak barrels with minimal racking. Multiple blending trials determine the final blend. Our reds are bottled unfined and unfiltered.
