2021 "Cavatina" Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

"The 2021 Cavatina Cabernet Sauvignon spent 22 months maturing in French oak barrels.  Its garnet hue sets the stage for a captivating bouquet of leather, ripe plum, and bay leaf. On the palate, the wine reveals a medium-to-full body. It is opulent with layered notes of black pepper, boysenberry, tobacco, and cedar, all framed by smooth, dusty tannins. Exceptionally balanced, pure and elegant, it delivers a long, refined finish. While ready to enjoy now after decanting, it also promises further complexity with cellaring."
