The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon stands to outshine the award-winning 2019 vintage with even deeper concentration and complexity. On the nose, the wine leaps from the glass with ripe blackberry, cassis, black cherry, and red plum, with a lovely herbaceous undertone. The palate expresses juicy red and black fruits with hints of black tea, damp earth, vanilla bean, lavender, and just a touch of flint. With fine-grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity that lingers through the long finish, this wine is ready to drink upon release but will cellar well for years to come.

Pts. James Moleworth "Creamy and polished, this red delivers an alluring wave of plum and boysenberry compote flavors laced with textbook Oakville notes of sweet bay, menthol and warm earth. Totally ready to go. Drink now through 2036." - Wine Spectator, November 1, 2024
Pts. James Suckling "Dusky, toasty, spicy oak and dark fruit aromas lead to a broad, dense palate with super velvety tannins. Loam, tobacco leaf, graphite and cocoa notes expand and linger, along with blackcurrants and dried cherries. Best from 2028." - James Suckling, June 1, 2024
