2021 Vintage - The Joy is Back
The 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. While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes are packed full of flavor. Winemakers across the valley are excited about the prospects of the 2021s and it is likely the smaller yields per vine and smaller berry size will result in another amazing vintage from Napa Valley.
WINEMAKING NOTES : 3 individual blocks came together to make our hand-picked, and hand sorted 2021 CABERNET SAUVIGNON RESERVE. Malolactic fermentation took place in barrels. The lots were aged in French oak barrels for 22 months. 1/3 new French oak. Blending was done 2 months prior to bottling.TASTING NOTES : The 2021 Reserve is a plush and luscious wine, layered with scents of blueberries, raspberry. cassis, orange peel, and aniseed. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet velvety, with concentrated, mineral-laced fruits and fine tannins that swirl and cascade through the layers of fruit. The tannins really are the focus here—they are powdery and precisely laced with mineral acidity.
