In 2021, the overall weather pattern was cooler than 2020 and an earlier bloom than normal. Summer brought more wind than we normally experience in Napa Valley creating a more mild overall season into fall that provided a long hang time prior to harvest. The 2021 vintage is marked by high quality fruit with exceptional color and tannin. The concentration, low yields, and small berries were reminiscent of the 2015 vintage.
On the nose, the wine showcases an alluring bouquet of red and black fruits, with juicy black cherry scents merging with aromas of bright cassis and fresh pomegranate. Subtler tones of toasted coconut and cedar spice and mystery and sophistication to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with emerging flavours of raspberry compote and dried wild berries. The wine is elegant whilst also displaying an impressive density, supported by well integrated tannins, providing structure without overwhelming.
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with grilled dishes such as cabbage and celeriac, duck breast or swordfish. Red meat or cheese based dishes will also pair nicely.
