Lot 398
2021 "Trubody Vineyard" Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark and opaque, this Cabernet stains the glass with a pearlescent purple hue. The bouquet is immediately gravelly and graphitic, opening to an excellent concentration of delineated black cherry, blackcurrant, violets, and dark chocolate covered cherry. The entry is supple-yet-vibrant, mouthwatering with cool-climate structure up front, leading into an array of red and black fruits accompanied by oak spice framed with small, grippy tannins and medium+ acidity. The finish is long and uplifted with nervy red fruits kissed with vanilla bean and barrel spice that folding back into themselves, showcasing more, near-eternal vanilla bean. Super-clean and complex, seamless and elegant, this is lovely example of Oak Knoll Cabernet at its best.

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 5 reviews.

Excellent wine!

"We tried a bottle last night and as it opened up it the black cherry and leather aromas were evident. The wine had nice legs and was smooth and structured. The finish was pleasant, and for as young wine the tannins were muted. I should have bought more of this release and will look for more from Trubody vineyard."

Solid

"This is a solid wine but there are other gems to purchase in this price range. I'm being picky because there's a plethora of amazing wines to choose from. It's still 4 stars"

— Jonathan B. (4/5)

Solid Napa Cab

"Oak Knoll Cabs never dissapoint. I think this could use another year or two in the cellar, but if you are ready for some jammy juices now then you won't be dissapointed. Served with ribeye and potatoes."

Elegant Cab

"I'm only opening one of the bottles I purchased of this wine and hoping to save the rest for a few years. I think there's a great chance that this one will be awesome with time. The one I opened was amazing - smooth and elegant, but it took some time to open up. You can't go wrong with this one."
