The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) marries rich, dense fruit with gorgeous floral notes. The 2021 is laced with inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and savory herbs that lend notable aromatic complexity. This is beautifully done.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is shaping up to be a tremendous value, by Napa Valley standards. Expressive savory and spice notes meld into a core of dark red fruit, leather, spice and menthol. This deep, fleshy Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the goods in a bold, punchy style that will be an absolute joy to taste over the next 10-15 years.
