Dark berries, cedar, walnuts, sweet spices, and pencil shavings on the nose. Full-bodied and so polished, and linear, with a chalky texture to the tannins. Wide and layered. Beautiful fruit. Lingering and refined. Drink or hold.
What We Thought: This wine begins with spicy black raspberry and cedary spice box on the nose and moves to an ultra-ripe, full-bodied blackberry palate that adds complexity with notes of vanilla, dark chocolate, and espresso; it is supported by smoothly structured, well-integrated tannins that make it very approachable in its youth.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is smoking good, with a full-bodied, rich, opulent wine that has classic cassis and darker blue fruits as well as leafy tobacco, baking spice, and bouquet garni notes. This textured, ripe, sexy wine stays nicely balanced, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's another awesome value.
