The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville comes mostly from estate fruit and is 100% Cabernet. It has a big, rich, slightly extracted vibe as well some serious black fruits, graphite, scorched earth, and chalky mineral-like aromas and flavors. With grippy, building tannins yet solid mid-palate density and good balance, it's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and drink nicely for a decade.

This velvety textured yet firmly tannic wine shows good, concentrated black fruit, graphite and dark chocolate in a style that should age well and improve for a decade or two. Fermented by native yeast after a cold soak, the wine spends several weeks on the skins to extract flavor and tannins, then is aged in French barrels.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is a potent, dense wine. Black cherry, spice, leather, tobacco and licorice fill out the layers in a Cabernet endowed with notable depth and plenty of Oakville resonance. Bright acids are a terrific match for all of its opulence.
