Kongsgaard, Napa Valley 2021

Sequoia Grove

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, tobacco and chocolates.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate and fruit forward with blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, licorice, coffee, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a young Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Already drinking beautifully, but needed 3 hours to open up properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 years.

Fruit forward with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel. Interesting and entertaining.

Robert Parker 90 points. Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

A good sipping wine that paired beautifully with my New York Strip steak.

A blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, 2% Malbec and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged for 18 months in (60% new) French Oak barrels.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Chateau Montelena

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Big flavors competing for first chair, but all playing at equal volume. Cassis, blueberry, eucalyptus, saddle leather, cacao nibs, vanilla, and sweet tobacco. All this with poise, balance, and such a velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and laden with Ludens. Very good!

Hate to be a typical wine drinker, but there was a smooth and velvety taste with a continuous bite at the end. Completely coats the tongue with flavor from start to finish. — 9 months ago

Ghost Block

Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel 2021

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing sweet raspberries, cherries, red currants, light oak, spices, chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Zinfandel from Oakville in Napa Valley. Rich, fruit forward and entertaining. Elegant and interesting.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. The high alcohol is not too noticeable at this point.

Right out of the bottle it feels like a light Napa Cabernet, but gets into its own after 2 hours in the decanter, when more red fruits show up, and it feels more like a Zinfandel. So interesting.

This Single Vineyard Zinfandel is easy drinking and a great sipping wine. A good party wine too.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

Trefethen Family Vineyards

Oak Knoll District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

One of our favorites wineries, this vintage is a bit drier and lighter than the 2020 (which we preferred slightly better), probably a bit young to open, best if paired with a well seasoned and juicy/fatty steak. — 9 months ago

The label I read showed 2019, my host assured me that it was 2021.

The 2021 coming along nicely and showing some beautiful development. Because of its nice integration, I believe this really was 2019. 🤷‍♂️

Honig

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

2021 vintage. PNP. Nose waay nicer than the flavors currently but ended up being a relatively solid effort for the price. No complaints. Maybe the gorgeous bouquet complexity marries into the flavors family at some point in the next 5-10 years? Twould be nice. 01.17.26. — 7 months ago
