Note di degustazione
Another Pritchard Hill-sourced wine, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 2 is incredibly concentrated and rich. Crushed stone, blueberries, pencil shavings, graphite and hints of tar appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is intense and tannic but ripe, with a long, vibrant finish. Will this level of off-the-charts richness and extraction be too much for some drinkers? Patience seems required.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 2 is another single block release and it's all Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon that saw the same 22 months in 95% new French oak. It's another utterly heavenly wine from this team that offers everything you could want in a wine. Deep purple-hued with a kaleidoscope-like array of red, blue, and black fruits as well as spice, cigar, and leafy herbs, it has a subtle iron-like undercurrent, full-bodied richness, building, ripe tannins, and an incredible finish. It's a big, powerful, yet flawlessly balanced 2021 that needs to be hidden for 5-7 years and will have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.
Sourced mostly from Montagna and a bit of Upper Range, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Stones No. 2 is a massively concentrated, tannic Cabernet Sauvignon. A blast of dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice, cedar and red cherry jam builds through to the close. This, too, needs time.
