The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru St. Helena (94% Cabernet Sauvignon along with tiny portions of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot) has the vintage s purity and freshness, with beautiful and classic darker currant fruits as well as notes of scorched earth, graphite, spicy oak, and some undeniable minerality. It's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, integrated tannins, and a great finish.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cru Napa Valley spent 18 months in 65% new barrels, with the rest in once-used oak. Cassis, blueberries, tobacco, and smoky oak notes give way to a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, textured 2021 with ripe yet firmer tannins, a terrific sense of freshness and purity, and outstanding balance. This classic, impeccably made Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is well worth seeking out and will evolve for 15+ years.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon CRU (Napa Valley) is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Rich, succulent and inviting, the 2021 offers tons of immediacy and plenty of appeal. Juicy dark cherry, leather, tobacco, spice and chocolate are nicely amplified. Most of this fruit is from vineyards in St. Helena.
