Such an attractive and alluring bouquet of violet florals blue fruit aromatics sagebrush bay laurel and toasty cedarwood. Medium to full-bodied with a wonderfully rich fruit-forward palate of succulent blackberry plums and black cherry nuanced by an inviting minerality with an ironstone quality laced by dried sage. The tannins are palate-etching and crisp and resolve with a fineness that leaves an overall impression of total harmony. Best from 2025; ideally you'd hold off until near 2030 and enjoy until 2050. - Jonathan Cristaldi 12/23

A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot all aged in new French oak the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill appears destined to be another classic. Penetrating aromas of cassis and red berries are joined by hints of violets dried sage crushed stones and pencil shavings on the nose while the full-bodied palate is rich and intensely concentrated framed by dusty tannins that linger easily on the long mouthwatering finish.

The flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill is based on 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Dense purple-hued with incredible aromatics of black and blue fruits camphor liquid violets tobacco and graphite it has a remarkable sense of opulence in its aromas and flavors and delivers full-bodied richness a massive mid-palate building tannins and a thrilling finish. It reminds me of an improved 2013. This heavenly Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will evolve for 30-40 years in cold cellars and is another absolutely sensational wine from this estate. Don't miss it.

Notes of crushed dark berries chocolate black licorice iodine bark and graphite. Wide and encompassing on the palate with a full body and ultra-fine almost weightless tannins. There is a fine chalky minerality to it with sea shell iron and cigar box undertones. Beautiful fruit. Firm and polished. Needs time. Try after 2026.
