Note di degustazione
Blended with 11% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is even more Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated than most vintages. This inky purple-hued beauty offers a sensational nose of crème de cassis, liquid violets, flowers, new leather, and graphite that's to die for. This carries to a massively concentrated, structured, inward Cabernet Sauvignon with building tannins, ample mid-palate depth and flesh, and a great finish.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is laced with dark red/purplish fruit, mint, lavender, rose petal, graphite and dried herbs. Medium in body and wonderfully vibrant, the 2021 is positively stellar. It's a great example of the new style here under the direction of Maya Dalla Valle. What a wine!
Full bottle 1,446 g. 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc. 800 cases produced. Very dark purple. Rather haunting freshness on the nose. Real lift and elegance. Quite a standout! Bone-dry finish that is just the right side of drying. A sophisticated wine set for the long term. The refreshing inkiness of fine Cabernet (especially Franc) and properly long. Congrats. (JR)
A full-bodied and refined cabernet sauvignon with notes of blackberries, dark plums, warm herbs and spice box. Serious, with fine yet firm tannins. Vivid core of spices on the velvety center-palate. The caressing touch of berries mingles harmoniously with the peppercorns and grilled herbs. Authentic and well-composed, with a focused, long and lively finish. Try after 2025.
