An extra-dark color and heady aromas of crushed blueberries and blackber-ries leads to super-concentrated black fruits and milk chocolate on the palate where silky tannins put a gentle grip around all that flavor. The wine is huge in pure fruit depth yet well polished in texture. Best from 2027?2034.

Leading off the Cabernet Sauvignon releases the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Signature is a larger production release and is 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and nearly equal portions of Petit Verdot Malbec and Merlot. Smoky black fruits graphite crushed stone and tobacco notes give way to a medium to full-bodied concentrated powerful 2021 offering ample mid-palate depth a layered textured balanced mouthfeel building tannins and a gorgeous finish. It's a brilliant bottle of wine that will benefit from short-term cellaring and have over two decades of longevity.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Aromas of cassis and dark berries with sweet spices dried orange peel and minty undertones. Hints of walnuts too. Medium- to full-bodied with well-integrated melting tannins. Very silky texture. Succulent and layered ripe but bright and vivid. Delicious fruit. Long. Attractive now but better after 2025.
jdThe Wine Independent: 94 Points
The 2021 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon with 8% Petit Verdot 7% Malbec and 6% Merlot in the blend is deep garnet-purple in color. It opens with evocative notes of warm cassis blackberry pie and kirsch followed by suggestions of menthol dark chocolate and anise. The full- bodied palate is packed with black fruit preserves and spicy layers supported by plush tannins and just enough freshness finishing long with a savory lift.
