2021 Oliver Ranch, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
“…Aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, cast iron, lilac, fennel and gingerbread spices. Its classy oak tones are nestled into a concentrated core of detailed fruit on the palate, and it has a weightless frame of velvety tannins. It’s noticeably energetic with bright acidity and has a very long, latent finish…. it offers tremendous purity and elegance …. it will be long lived in the cellar.”
97+ points – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
2021 SJ Ranch, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
“… singular aromas of boysenberry, blueberry compote, lavender and Galliano liqueur. The full-bodied palate has a balanced frame of chocolate-textured tannins and seamless acidity, and its core of spicy fruit is still youthfully coiled—its latent finish gives the impression that this SJ Ranch will blossom dramatically after several years in bottle.”
98 points – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
2021 Del Rio Vineyard, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
“…pure, layered scents of cassis, blueberries, milk chocolate, lilac, aniseed and conifer. It has a seamless structure, offering an ideal balance of fresh acidity and cashmere-textured tannins, and a very long finish with a flourish of spice and floral perfume. This will be long lived in bottle!”
97+ points – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
2021 Nomad, 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Merlot
“Pretty aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, wild fennel, thyme, bitter chocolate and violet with botanical undertones. The full-bodied palate is lovely! It has concentrated, spicy blue fruit, a harmonious frame of vibrant acidity and velvety tannins and a long finish laced with spicy accents.”
96+ points – Erin Brooks, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
