Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Strong fruity nose and Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black fruits, chocolate notes, tobacco, vanilla, licorice, cedar, earth, peppercorn, leather, coffee and spices.

This delicious 3 year old Napa Cabernet is still young and needs a 5 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Already enjoyable even by itself but is showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$250.

Chimney Rock

Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Deep purple in color.

Fruity and easy drinking right out of the bottle

Rich and extracted. Smooth and elegant. Showing nice complexity and balance. Spicy and entertaining.

Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Robert Parker 92 points. Wine Spectator 94 points.

A delicious Napa Cabernet, and better with airtime. I've had many different vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and a touch of Petit Verdot and Malbec.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$100.
