The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot in the blend. Deep garnet-purple in color, it leaps with notions of kirsch, wild blueberries, and blackcurrant jelly giving way to nuances of red roses, underbrush, and fried herbs. The full-bodied palate is laden with densely packed black fruit layers, framed by firm, grainy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with a real skip in its step. (LPB)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes almost all from the estate on Howell Mountain and is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and the rest Merlot. It has classic Howell Mountain style in its ripe blue fruits, violets, iron, and bouquet garni-like aromatics, and its medium to full-bodied, with a rich, mouth-filling texture and outstanding length. It has another 15 years of prime drinking ahead of it. (JD) 93+

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cade Estate combines fruit from the original vineyard and 13th Vineyard. It shows hints of pine and sage on the nose, accenting a base of ripe black cherries, while the full-bodied palate is concentrated. It's rich without being overdone, with a long, velvety finish. (JC)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is wonderfully alluring. The purity of the fruit is quite striking. Bold and creamy, with terrific depth, the 2021 is surprisingly accessible for a young Howell Mountain Cabernet. Succulent dark plum, mocha, spice, leather and menthol are front and center. Dollops of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot add aromatic and flavor complexity. (AG)
