Note di degustazione
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Calarcadia Vineyard is straight-up pure perfection in Cabernet Sauvignon, and I certainly couldn't find anything it could do better. Incredible aromatics of black and blue fruits, smoked tobacco, dark chocolate, and hints of iron and minerality all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with a full-bodied, broad, expansive, multi-dimensional mouthfeel that is something to behold. Slightly more open and sexy compared to the more tannic and inward Heritage Ridge, this beauty has flawless overall balance, fine tannins, and a mammoth-sized finish. It reminds me of the 2009 Château Latour with its regal yet ripe, opulent, structured profile. It will blow you away even today, but give bottles just 4-5 years if you can. I suspect this will evolve for 30-40 years if well stored.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Calarcadia Vineyard is deep and pliant, with gorgeous mid-palate sweetness and fine balance in its inky blue/purplish fruit, mocha, chocolate and spice core. The 2021 is pliant and resonant, but also light on its feet for a mountain wine. I can't wait to see how it ages. Black cherry, plum, graphite and incense build into the huge, resonant finish. The 2021 is beautiful and full of potential.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Calarcadia Vineyard is dense, powerful and explosive. A wine of vertical intensity, the 2021 is endowed with impressive vertical structure and tons of depth. Black cherry, mocha, lavender, licorice, spice and menthol build into the huge palate-staining finish. Calarcadia is usually a bit more showy in its youth; this is a vintage of reserve.
