Written Notes

50 Year Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 ($80) – The grapes here spend seven days on skins in open fermenters with twice daily hand-plunging before a year and a half maturation in a mix of new and older French barriques. The vines hail from the sub-region of Bethany. 

An intense black/maroon hue. The nose exhibits chocolate and plums, spices, a pleasing flick of oak and aniseed. There are notes of soy, leather, dried herbs, licorice and beefstock. On the palate, notes of mint and coffee beans emerge. The wine offers a silky texture, satiny tannins and a lingering finish. A really lovely wine with ten to fifteen years ahead of it. 95.
