2021 Amoenus Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Perfectly ripe Bing cherries, white pepper, and sweet spices draw the nose to mature aromatics, foretelling of the density and power that await. Dimpled blackberries and rich, velvety tannins envelop the palate, enchanting with hedonistic charm and stunning balance. This flavor journey unfolds all the way through the seamless finish, leaving an indelible mark of this bucolic Amoenus Vineyard site, complete with rolling hills and sun-kissed volcanic loam soils.
praise for 2021 amoenus vineyard cabernet sauvignon
“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus Vineyard is another seriously impressive wine in this range. Blackberry jam, graphite, leather, cloves, tobacco and chocolate infuse this deep, sumptuous Calistoga Cabernet with tons of complexity. There's tremendous substance and voluptuousness in the 2021. Admirably, the tannins are exceptionally well-balanced for a young Calistoga Cabernet.”
—Antonio Galloni, Vinous. 97 Points.
“Coming from a site in Calistoga, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Amoenus Vineyard is another brilliant 2021 from this estate that readers will love. Black raspberries, blackberries, chocolate, crushed herbs, and a touch of iron define the aromatics and it has full-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a savory, length, classic Calistoga, mineral-drenched style on the palate. Give it a few years.”
