I tasted a barrel sample of the 2021 Patria Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon with 88% Cabernet Sauvignon 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. It is deep garnet-purple in color and features fragrant notes of crushed red and black currants violets and tar with suggestions of black truffles and pencil lead. The full-bodied palate is completely filled with energetic black berry and mineral layers framed by fine-grained tannins and a lively line finishing long and earthy.
