Note di degustazione
A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (White Label) takes a base of ripe cherries and garnishes that with hints of florals and allspice. It's medium to full-bodied, plush and approachable, with ample concentration and a softly dusty, mocha-tinged finish.

Full bottle 1,374 g. Aged for 20 months in 64% new French oak. 2,368 cases produced. Organically produced. Transparent crimson. Lively, fresh, fairly simple fruit. Sweet start and lots of bite on the end. Not standard issue Napa Cab. Racier. (JR)
Moving to the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, its deeper ruby hue is followed by classic Larkmead notes of savory red and black fruits, camphor, loamy earth, and dried tobacco-like nuances. It's textbook Calistoga with its savoriness and minerality, and it s medium-bodied, with an elegant, focused mouthfeel and outstanding length. It has plenty of charm today (if you don't mind some tannins) and I suspect will evolve for 10-15 years.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a soft, open-knit wine that will drink well upon release. This is an approachable Calistoga Cabernet endowed with tons of complexity. Black cherry, gravel, spice, new leather, tobacco and scorched earth convey the essence of the estate. Pretty floral top notes lift the finish.
