Rich, deep red garnet color with aromas and flavors of black currant, ripe plum, and blackberry. Notes of lavender, cocoa, and leather are layered with black pepper and vanilla bean. Full-bodied and intense, this wine is balanced and well-structured with seamless acidity and firm tannins.
A strong vintage for this wine, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate includes 6% each Malbec and Petit Verdot and spent 18 months in 53% new oak. The result is that notes of cedar and brown sugar accent black cherries and cassis on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is richly textured, silky and elegant but firm and tannic. RP
