This Napa Cab brings power and polish in equal measure. A rich blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon and rounded out with a splash of Bordeaux varietals, it opens with bold dark berries and floral lift, then flows into a velvety palate of plum, redcurrant, and hints of sage and lavender. Aged for 19 months in French oak, it’s supple yet structured, with a long, savory finish that balances finesse and depth. Great now, or let it evolve.

A very refined and polished red with fine tannins, bright acidity and a tangy undertone. Medium-bodied, juicy and savory. Citrusy. Drink or hold.

Matured 19 months in 27% new French oak, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% each Malbec, Petit Verdot and Tanner and 1% each Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petite Sirah. It kicks off with plenty of ripe cherries and vanilla on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, supple, soft and easy, then adds slightly wooly tannins and subtle cassis notes on the finish.

A lovely deep saturated ruby color, this Cabernet opens with a vibrant nose of black raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry preserves alongside delicate hints of violet. On the palate, ripe dark plum, black cherry, classic redcurrant and hibiscus flower support savory Chaparral sagebrush notes of lavender and Bay Laurel, while the fruit remains bright and boisterous, enveloping the mouth with a medium to full body and lip-smacking appeal. The texture is soft and silky with velvety-rich tannins that provide a nice grip and firmness with good depth and balance. Concluding with a refined and polished character, the finish is long and sumptuous with an enchanting seductive character.
