This shows a lot of class with aromas of blackcurrants graphite blueberries dried flowers black truffles and a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with seamless tannins that goes on and on. Endless. Blackcurrants dark mushrooms and violets with hints of fresh rose stems and light herbs. Velvety texture. A blend of 92% cabernet sauvignon 6% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Better after 2027.

The 2021 Napanook is one heck of a Napanook offering complex notes of currants cassis graphite leafy tobacco lead pencil and chocolate. Incredible on the palate its full

The 2021 Napanook is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color it slowly emerges from the glass with expressive notes of blackcurrant pastilles wild blueberries and Morello cherries leading to an undercurrent of rosebud tea cinnamon stick and tilled soil with a waft of charcoal. The rich concentrated full-bodied palate delivers waves of black and blue fruit preserves supported by velvety tannins and well-knit freshness finishing long and spicy. 3000 cases were made.

The 2021 Napanook tasted from barrel is fabulous. Rich deep and super-expressive the 2021 captures all the best the vintage has to offer. A whole range of floral and savory overtones lend nuance. This vibrant intensely mineral Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolute delight to taste today and an especially fine edition of Napanook endowed with big fruit and equally potent tannins.
