Our 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a showstopper

​The fruit was harvested from one the most iconic vineyards in Rutherford in the early morning of October 8, 2021.

96% Cabernet Sauvignon, rounded out with a dash of Petite Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from the Stagecoach Vineyard. 

Brought up in Taransaud barrels (70% new), the wine has intense aromas of blackberry, mocha, graphite, and sage. The palate is full-bodied with concentrated flavors of cassis, dark chocolate, and dusty tannins, along with hints of cedar. The finish is exceptionally long and complex with balanced acidity.

The wine is reminiscent of classic Bordeaux, with the minerality and structure of great Pauillac, stylistically bringing to mind the 2019 vintage of Pichon-Lalande. To say we are thrilled with how this superb, cellar-worthy Cabernet is progressing is an understatement.
