This 100% cabernet release hails from the 2021 vintage.<\/p>\n Thoughts follow.<\/p>\n An intense 15.6% abv experience, this wine showcases a greatest hits of the Napa cab world, kicking off with notes of dark chocolate, anise, and toasty oak. The rumblings of currants and plums aren\u2019t far behind, the latter quite dried and extracted, showcasing dark, chocolate-laden notes that are infused with vanilla and later ample tannins.
