2021 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon
Dark purple at the rim. Opaque at the core. Inky. Graphite with a touch of cedar. Chocolate-coated violets. Very impressive. This exudes class and concentration, too, but its considerable power is beautifully disguised. Lovely dark blueberries and wild bilberries. Black cherry. Liquorice. This is highly crystalline, pixilated, layered, rippling, with great precision. Chewy but in all the best ways. There’s a subtle yet glorious leafiness to the fruit too which brings an additional dimension. Not overwhelmingly powerful but gracious, moderated and supremely elegant.
98/100 Colin Hay; The Drinks Business
You land squarely in the heights of Napa from the opening aromatics, with juicy, powerful and concentrated cassis, blackberry and bilberry fruits, along with cocoa bean, espresso, cloves, and fresher greengage plum that reflects the pattern of sourcing from the cooler southern stretches of the valley. All the same, don't expect low alcohols but this is grippy, beautifully balanced and hard to argue with. First time distributed through the Bordeaux négociant system, and an exciting addition to the lineup, with its Judgement of Paris history (now Antinori owned).
