2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes:  The 2021 vintage unites luscious fruit with luxurious textures. Inviting aromas of sun-warmed berries and forest floor open into layers of rich cherry, blackberry, marionberry and mocha on the palate. Soft, graphite-infused tannins and gentle herbal notes of dried thyme and garrigue provide graceful support for the curvaceous fruit core. Waves of indulgent chocolate, vanilla, red fruit and berry bramble carry the wine through a long, raspberry-caramel finish.

Aging: 20 months in French oak (50% new; Berger, Taransaud, Demptos)

Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot
