The 2021 The Mountain Tower Vineyard Series checks in as 52% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Merlot aged 20 months in 40% new French oak. Darker, iron-laced blue fruits, crushed stone, sage, and lavender notes all emerge from this rocking 2021, another brilliant wine in the lineup that has medium to full-bodied richness, stunning purity of fruit, and building tannins that need bottle age. I wouldn't think about opening bottles for at least another 3-4 years, and it should cruise in cold cellars over the following two decades.

Decanter
Rich and opulent nose, mineral intensity of crushed basalt, pencil shavings, hot stone and anise mingle with an effusively fragrant note of wild desert sage and eucalyptus. A core of black plums and intense baking chocolate is framed with serious grippy tannins. Sappy blackberry, rose hips and smoky umami finish the palate, complete with an abiding sense of elegance. A wine made to age.

Vinous
The 2021 The Mountain Tower WeatherEye Vineyard opens in the glass with mentholated freshness and notes of dusty rose, thyme and pepper-tinged wild berries. This is cool-toned and sleek, with polished waves of ripe red fruits and savory spices that swirl as tactile mineral tones add grip toward the close. Classically dry, it leaves the palate clenched with youthful tension, as a resonance of licorice slowly fades. This is the first vintage of The Mountain Tower, a blend of 52% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Merlot from the north side of WeatherEye Vineyard.
