This wine delights with a strikingly dynamic deep crimson hue. On the nose it reveals enticing aromas of black and red currants, complemented by subtle floral undertones. Rich layers of berry compote and cassis unfold on the palate, gradually giving way to earthy hints of leather and cigar box. A firm mineral-like backbone combined with a smooth, polished texture creates tension, while its well-defined structure and refined tannins enhance the wine’s complexity, all culminating in a lingering finish.

2021 ACCOLADES

93 pts, James Suckling
“Lots of currants and black berries with black cherries and tobacco. Medium body with nicely opened tannins here that give length and beauty. Juicy at the end with hints of tobacco and cedar. Attractive tobacco undertones. Drink now or hold.” – James Suckling

91 pts, Vinous
“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) is fabulous. Rich, dense and wonderfully inviting, the 2021 packs a ton of punch. A rush of red/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, spice, rose petal, cedar and new leather builds into the juicy, expressive finish. This succulent Sonoma County Cabernet is a winner.” – Antonio Galloni
