Note di degustazione
The first vintage where they've pulled out younger vines with the goal of elevating the quality, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is based on 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal doses of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It has a stunning nose of pure cassis, graphite, crushed stone, darker chocolate, and baking spices. This carries to a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, yet polished Cabernet Sauvignon with incredible tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. There are a scant 300 cases made, and this is clearly one of the great values out there in truly great Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is plump, juicy and super-appealing. Succulent red cherry, red plum, leather, rose petal, mint and cinnamon are nicely pushed forward in this racy, juicy 2021. The balance here is impeccable.
Coming from a mix of terrific sites (Oakville Ranch, Georges III, Montagne) and blended with 13% Malbec and brought up in 75% new oak, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a beautifully layered, medium to full-bodied barrel sample revealing classic aromatics (cassis, gravelly earth, chocolate, and lead pencil), ripe, polished tannins, background oak, and a great finish. It will be a terrific wine and, I suspect, will drink nicely right out of the gate.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is bright and energetic, as wines from this site tend to be. Dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, dried herbs and wild flowers abound. The 2021 captures all the energy of this ranch in its huge fruit and potent, searing tannins. All this embryonic Cabernet needs time to come together.
