Tasting notes
The first vintage where they've pulled out younger vines with the goal of elevating the quality, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is based on 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and equal doses of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It has a stunning nose of pure cassis, graphite, crushed stone, darker chocolate, and baking spices. This carries to a full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, yet polished Cabernet Sauvignon with incredible tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish. There are a scant 300 cases made, and this is clearly one of the great values out there in truly great Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is superb. Bright acids and veins of tannin drive through this potent, brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon. This is classic Oakville Ranch in its vibrancy and youthful intensity and is a bit riper than the Allen Price. Production is down 40% from most previous years.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is plump, juicy and super-appealing. Succulent red cherry, red plum, leather, rose petal, mint and cinnamon are nicely pushed forward in this racy, juicy 2021. The balance here is impeccable.
