Note di degustazione
Sourced from the Montagna Vineyard on Pritchard Hill, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 1 is an intense, powerful wine, marked by scents of pencil shavings, crushed stone, menthol and blueberries. Full-bodied and concentrated, it's tannic but impeccably ripe, with a long, gently astringent finish. Give it at least a few years in the cellar.

All Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 1 comes from the Perrarus Block 1 on Pritchard Hill and was aged 22 months in 95% new French oak. It's a regal, majestic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that has to-die-for aromatics of crème de cassis, graphite, smoked tobacco, and dark chocolate. These all carry to a full-bodied, powerful 2021 that has the vintage's pure, focused mouthfeel, ripe, flawlessly balanced tannins, and incredible length on the finish. The level of class and overall seamlessness here, paired with incredible concentration and power, are something to behold. This beauty certainly tops out my scale, and while it will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age, it's going to have a lengthy 2-3 decades of overall longevity.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 1 is a rich, heady wine. Most of this fruit is from Montagna, on Pritchard Hill. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice, cloves, and graphite all saturate the palate. Opulent and full-throttle to the core, the 2021 is not exactly subtle, but it is gorgeous. Readers will find a grand, sweeping Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This has very polished tannins for Pritchard Hill.
