Winemakers Notes

The 2021 growing season was blessed by late winter rains that

replenished our soil’s moisture as the vines emerged from

dormancy. A cold spring led to a slower start for the vines, but we

avoided any frost danger. Summer growing conditions were

exceptional, with consistent weather and blue skies ushering in a

Goldilocks summer that was not too hot and not too cold. We are

thrilled with the quality of the grapes from the outstanding 2021

vintage.

The grapes were fermented in 1⁄2 ton Macro bins and manual punch

downs were done numerous times daily through fermentation. The

wine was aged in French oak for 23 months and bottled in

November 2023.

Harvest date: October 12th, 2021.

120 cases produced.

Tasting Notes

Our 2021 Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon is deeply colored. On the

nose, the wine showcases rich blackberry fruit, espresso, and

tobacco. The complex palate bursts with dark cherry and

blackberry flavors surrounded by earth and cigar boxes.

The wine opens with an exotic mix of black cherry, black currant,

and hints of herbs and warm spices. Blackberries and cherries tease

the palate before exploding into a broad wine and mouth-filling with

soft tannins, elegant and focused from the beginning to the long

lingering finish.

Food Suggestions

This wine is designed to be drunk upon release but can age

gracefully for a decade or more.

Decanting this wine before drinking is recommended.
