2021 OAKVILLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 750mL
$90
This special pre-sale will ship in late September, just prior to the official global release date of October 3rd.
Our 2021 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted by winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown in the Schrader Cellars tradition of making the best Cabernet Sauvignon that Napa Valley can offer. According to Thomas, 2021 is a stunning vintage that stands to exceed the 2019 vintage in both quality and complexity. A unique expression of the Oakville AVA with harmonious integration of decadent fruit, refined structure, and silky tannins, this wine is ready to enjoy upon release and will continue to evolve over the next 3-5 years.
In the glass, the wine displays a nearly opaque ruby-purple hue. Upon closer inspection, aromas emerge in waves suggesting framboise, nutmeg, toasted cedar bark, plum reduction, and pennyroyal mint. The sleek palate is marked by mouth-watering notes such as blackberry compote, dark chocolate shavings, cassis, oolong tea, flint, and lavender. The dynamic flavors interact on the mid-palate with a vivid harmony, carrying through to the long floral finish, which lasts for up to a minute. With a pleasing acidity and fine tannic framework, this wine is very enjoyable today and should develop gracefully in the cellar for years to come.
