Note di degustazione
One of the greatest bargains in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Caterwaul's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley draws largely on co-proprietor Matt Hardin's Pope Valley vineyards, but it bolsters those barrels with other bits and pieces from winemaker (and co-proprietor) Thomas Rivers Brown's other projects. Boasting gently herbal notes of sage and bay leaf that perfectly complement the ripe black cherries, it's full-bodied, rich, concentrated, velvety and long. No, it's not overly complex, but it is a solid entry-level Cab at a price most producers can't touch. And there are almost 7,000 cases of the stuff, so you may actually be able to find the stuff at retail.

The 8,000-case 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley goes largely to distribution and has to be one of the great values in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon out there. Classic darker currants, tobacco, chocolate, and some gravelly earth notes all define the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, supple, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's more than worth it's going rate.
The colorfully named 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Last Rites emerges from a vineyard in central St. Helena that readers will be able to deduce from the wine's name. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, mint, rose petal, lavender and a kiss of sweet French oak give the 2021 so much effusiveness and overall appeal. It's a very typical St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next decade or so.
