Vintage 2021

The California 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields with intensely-flavored, small-sized berries and a smooth and uneventful harvest season. The season started off with very little rain, leading to the 2nd year of drought conditions in Napa Valley, Harvest began early with white wine grapes picked on July 30th and red wine grapes beginning on August 31.

Written Notes

The 2021 Mythicus is a tour de force and an undeniable monument of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, capturing perfection from the low-yielding, drought-concentrated 2021 growing season. Pitch-black in the glass, it erupts with an intoxicating, multi-layered perfume of crushed black cherries, cassis, crushed iron ore, embers, wild thyme, and incense,framed by refined French oak spices. On the palate, it exhibits astonishing structural density without a milligram of excess weight, presenting seamless, pixelated tannins and vibrant, mouthwatering natural acidity that cuts through the sheer volume of dark fruit. The finish is electric, echoing with notes of graphite, dark fruit, and cool stone minerality for well over a minute—a timeless, transcendent Napa classic.

Deep, intense ruby red colour. Volaptuous nose is highlighted by the broad black fruit character with dark chocolate, mocha, toasted praline and licorice notes. Full-bodied palate is immensely rich and intense with silky smooth tannins and dense jammy black fruit flavours. Lingering and satiny smooth mouthfilling cacao finish. Probably the best Mythicus ever made (so far)!!? Drinks well already but will deliver its best in 6-8 years. – JL 98p (2024)
