Lot 435
2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Red cassis dominates the nose with blackberries and a halo of eucalyptus brushed by red clay dust, sweet tobacco, and crushed florals. The entry is filled with juicy red-to-black fruit accented with cola in a dusty valley floor presentation; perfectly integrated medium-grained, grippy tannins are framed by medium+ acidity with good complex. The finish is still a touch youthful as ’21s tend to be; barrel influenced vanilla blossom and baking spices lay atop red fruit umami in a long, dry finish.
