This powerful densely packed wine bursts with aromas of late-picked blackberries blueberries and cassis that give way to bold black fruit and dark-chocolate flavors accented by cloves black pepper and cedar. The tannins are full and firm needing several years to mellow for best enjoyment. Drink from 2027?2037. ? Jim Gordon

A freshly plowed humus note pokes out first with further coaxing in the glass revealing dense black currant fig and blackberry paste flavors. On the back end bittersweet cocoa and espresso crema notes give this a dark slightly rugged persona but should smooth out with some brief cellaring. For fans of the toasty style. Best from 2025 through 2040. 58562 cases made.

Coming mostly from the estate (70 acres) the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is based on 92% Cabernet Sauvignon 4% Petit Verdot and the rest Cabernet Franc Malbec and Merlot. Bottled in March of this year it has a deep ruby/purple hue to go with a pure ripe seamless medium to full-bodied profile as well as ample cassis and darker raspberry-like fruits classic tobacco and spicy chocolaty oak. On the palate its ripe tannins beautiful purity and great finish make for a beautiful elegant layered wine very much in the style of the vintage.
