Beschrijving
Deze monovarietal laat het typische profiel van de Cabernet Sauvignons uit de Napa Valley goed naar voren komen. Hij is diep, aromatisch en goed in balans. Het is een rode wijn die je echt kunt proeven dankzij zijn body, goede zuurgehalte en complexiteit. De jaargang 2021 laat alle kracht en rijkdom zien die je van de Napa Valley mag verwachten, met een heel kenmerkende tannine die wijnen van deze klasse tientallen jaren laat rijpen

The red fruit and tile aromas with terra-cotta come through clearly here. Then there’s sage and bark with cedar undertones. Leaves, too. Then turns to blue fruits. Full body with lovely tannins that are velvety and energetic from the underlying acid and earth character. Excellent finish. Drink after 2028.
Lastly, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville may be the finest wine I've tasted from this estate, although the 2016 might have something to say about that. Ripe blackcurrants, fresh blue fruits, huge minerality, full-bodied richness, a dense, concentrated mid-palate, and incredibly pure notes of chocolate, loamy earth, tobacco, and lead pencil all define this sensational Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon. The tannin quality as well as the overall balance are just about off the charts. This warrants 4-5 years in the cellar and will have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville Ranch, an elevated site that lies between Dalla Valle and Ovid. It's a complex whirl on the nose, easily mixing cedary, cinnamon, cassis and dusty earth notes, while the medium to full-bodied palate is packed and intense but also complex and savory, with a fine dusting of ripe tannins.
