Winemakers Notes: The 2021 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon leads with a heady aromatic rush of lilac, blackcurrant, ripe raspberry, vanilla, and clove. The palate reveals flavors of blackberry cobbler, fig, and raw almond packed around a tight-knit core of soft tannin. The judicious use of new French oak lends structure while adding a flash of espresso and cedar through a luxurious finish. 18 months in 50% new oak barrels and 50% one-fill oak barrels.

77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 1% Malbec

Deep purple-hued, with great aromatics of cassis, graphite, mint, and tobacco, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is medium to full-bodied and concentrated, showing a focused, elegant mouthfeel, classic 2021 tannins, and a great finish. It will benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar and keep for 15+.

Plush and generous aromas of blackcurrants, blackberry compote, graphite and violets. The palate is full-bodied with bold tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of blood plums, licorice and spices. Very generous and ripe, with high drinkability.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Adaptation is a blend of seven different vineyards across the valley, from mountain sites and valley floor sites. Savory and floral notes lead into a core of dark red/purplish fruit. This bold, savory Cabernet Sauvignon packs a pretty serious punch with its mid-weight frame. Best of all, this is a terrific wine for the money.
