Tasting note
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should bring cassis, black cherry and a polished note of dark spice to the nose. The 2021 wine is expected to feel full and well framed, with firm tannins giving the palate a steady grip and acidity keeping the dense fruit lively. Its listed peak runs from 2028 through 2046, with a window to 2054; anticipate a long finish where dark berry gives way to cedar and gentle herbal detail.
