2021 Repris "Moon Mountain - E.S.P." Moon Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon (OWC)

A more introspective and deep wine coming from the heritage blocks of the estate, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Moon Mountain Vineyard ESP is not a wine produced in every vintage (the same with Momtazee). It boasts a dark, inky purple color and is savory and deep on the nose, with notes of toasted rosemary, pine, blackcurrant, dark stones, and dark cocoa. Full-bodied, it expands on the palate with a plush texture, ripe tannins, an even, ripe feel, and savory earth coming through on the finish. It’s a lovely wine to enjoy from 2027 to 2040. (AF)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon E·S·P Moon Mountain Vineyard stains the palate with copious inky dark fruit, chocolate, espresso, new leather and lavish French oak. Opulent to the core, the E·S·P is certainly not a shy wine. It will appeal most to readers who enjoy full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon. (AG)
