92 POINTS | WINE ADVOCATE

This is a deeply extracted, rich and robust wine. I find this wine bursting with black cherry and blackberry aromas, with hints of cocoa and coffee. On the palate the wine has an immediate presence, as the attack and midpalate are robust. The dark berry aromas follow through with consistency on to the palate. The tannins are big, but round and well-resolved and quickly round out what is a long, lingering finish. This wine will age gracefully for 20+ years.

This 2021 Block V Cabernet Sauvignon showcases our single block planting of Clone 4 Cabernet Sauvignon on St. George rootstock.

On the nose, this wine has dark berry fruit, hints of spice and light toasted oak, and vanilla tones. On the palate the wine is very well balanced with depth on the midpalate but also nuance and finesse on the finish. It is a celebration of the depth that can be attained with this varietal in Oak Knoll District. The attack is big, but is supported by layers of on the midpalate. The tannins are moderate, and the underlying fruit character is deep, so that this wine will evolve gracefully over time. The finish is big, and lingers with dark red berry fruit and toasted oak.
