Description
92 Points –Wine Enthusiast: This wine is a standout in the school of plush, velvety and chocolaty Cabernets. A dark color and generous dried-fruit aromas lead to milk and dark chocolate, candied cherries and cream on the palate. A soft blanket of tannins wraps them all up loosely.
92 Points – Vinous: A blend of Round Pond’s estate vineyards in Rutherford and Oakville, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is deep, layered and super-expressive. This delivers the goods big time. All the elements are so well balanced. The 2021 feels just a touch compact today, but hopefully, the mid-palate will flesh out in time. Even so, there’s so much to admire here. The inclusion of fruit from M-Bar makes a meaningful difference in this cuve.
91 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: A blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Syrah, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a solid effort, redolent of black cherries and baking spices, with hints of cinnamon, sage and dusty earth. After spending 20 months in 65% new French oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, soft and approachable, a charming, easy-drinking wine to enjoy now and for the next several years.
