The 2021 growing season began with colder-than-average temperatures and a dry spring. With limited winter rainfall, the vines had to reach deep for water and nutrients, creating just enough stress to enhance fruit concentration. Consistently warm Summer temperatures allowed the fruit to ripen gradually while preserving its freshness. This wine opens with aromas of ripe black plum and sandalwood. On the palate, flavors of black raspberry with notes of mocha and fig. Elegant tight-grained tannins join hints of spice and dusty mineral in a lasting finish.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Napa Valley is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions, located north of San Francisco in California. It is especially famous for its bold yet refined Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as high-quality Chardonnay and Merlot. The region’s Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights, allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop deep complexity and balance. Napa Valley is home to hundreds of wineries, ranging from historic family-run estates to modern, luxury producers. In addition to exceptional wines, Napa is celebrated for its beautiful vineyard landscapes, fine dining, and premium wine tourism experiences.
