Tasting Notes

2021 produced some of the best fruit in recent years. Early rain, then almost no notable precipitation for the rest of the season, provided an ideal environment. The summer saw early and even ripening. Low yields created small berries with intense flavor. Harvest began early at the end of August. With optimal ripening, our winemakers could take their time bringing in the grapes. The wine has fantastic character with aromatic intensity and tremendous balance and structure that are equally lush and fruity. A tremendous year to experience the nuances and terroir distinction from around the valley.

Scores & Accolades

  • 96
    “A layered and lightly chewy red with currant, orange peel and hints of hazelnut. Fine tannins. Some pine, cedar, graphite, black currant and iodine. Perfumed. Tannins turn fine and bright. Excellent length and serious tension. One of the best I have had. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 15% petit verdot, 11% cabernet franc, 9% malbec and 5% merlot. Drinkable but will age nicely. Best in two or three years.” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com

Winemaking

Tailored winemaking for each varietal captures the personality of the vintage and vineyard blocks. Optical sorting, cold soaking, gentle pumpovers, and in-barrel malolactic fermentation contribute to the richly textured, complex flavors. Aging in 60% new French oak barrels for 22 months complemented the wine’s impressive depth and freshness.

Vintage

We always source from specific, top-quality vineyard blocks that give terroir expression and a round, approachable tannin structure. Half of the Cabernet Sauvignon was grown on the Rutherford AVA’s famous western benchland, with the balance from the Calistoga, Oakville, and St Helena AVAs. The Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec were sourced exclusively from our Rutherford estate vineyards. Two styles of Cabernet Franc lend intrigue: one from cooler Sonoma Valley provides fresh acidity and a slight herbal character; the other from warmer Calistoga adds ripe, expressive red fruit notes.
