"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon comes almost all (85%) from Yountville, and it includes splashes of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec. Offering lots of juicy red, blue, and black fruits as well as violets, spicy oak, and tobacco, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Readers looking for an impeccably made Cabernet Sauvignon that won't break the bank will love this. Drink bottles over the coming decade."
