2021 Cabernet Sauvignon

80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 5% Tannat

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with brooding notes of red currant, cedar, dried flowers, and chapparal. Ripe black plum, mocha, and cinnamon strut across the palate – they are trailed by hints of grilled herbs. The finish starts with concentrated tannins, then transforms into a seamless combination of unctuous midpalate and lingering acidity.
