Jasmine, violets, and mocha are on target in this dynamic, energetic red along with strokes of chalky tannins. An elegant flow of creamy boysenberry and sinewy sandalwood sustains its structure, while a wash of Worcestershire goes on and on.
90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Legacy Collection features gently herbal aromas and a solid base of cassis fruit. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe, concentrated and velvety on the palate, with good length, plus flourishes of vanilla and cedar on the finish.
Winemaker Notes
This stunning wine boasts an expressive nose that immediately captivates the senses. On the palate, the wine opens up with complex layers of dried red fruit and hints of cigar box. A subtle hint of wet stone adds a unique touch to the overall experience. The wine's medium to full body creates a beautiful balance between the fruit and tannin structure. The finish is simply divine, with a touch of cocoa dust that lingers on the palate long after the last sip.
Vintage Notes
The 2021 season started off with very little rain, leading to the second consecutive year of drought conditions in Northern California. The result is a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The grapes are packed full of flavor. Winemaker Sara Fowler is excited about the prospects of the 2021 vintage, as it is likely the smaller yields per vine and smaller berry size will result in more concentrated flavors and hence, another amazing year.
Blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot
