Farmed from the very heart of this legendary vineyard, the 2021 Fortuna Cabernet Sauvignon is a true thumbprint of time and place and showcase in the delicate interplay of alluvial and fluvial soils that have come to define this site. Fresh, bright red fruits and alluring spice box notes envelop the senses, compelling the first sip. Bergamot-y fruits and black tea tannins comingle and lifting the palate to new heights. From this peak of flavor on the fore-palate, silky tannins dance with subtle grit, adding layers of depth and texture that narrow in focus with a vivacious poof of flavor through the finish.

praise for 2021 fortuna vineyard cabernet sauvignon

“Another jaw dropping good release, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard comes from a site in Oakville and it’s loaded with ripe black fruits, black olive, graphite, and smoked herb like aromas and flavors. This rich, concentrated, full-bodied effort has plenty of tannins, a great mid-palate, and the class to drink and evolve gracefully for two decades. I love it.”

“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortuna Vineyard is quite supple in this vintage, with soft, plush contours that lend notable charm. Succulent red cherry, Kirsch, cinnamon, rose petal, spice, blood orange and new leather all take shape in the glass. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gem.”

—Antonio Galloni, VInous. 94 Points. 

“Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Fortuna Cabernet Sauvignon is a little closed and sluggish to begin. With coaxing, the nose opens out to wonderfully pure notes of red and black currants, wild sage, and red roses with an earthy undercurrent. The medium-bodied palate is bright, vivacious, and elegantly styled, with fine-grained tannins and a refreshing, fragrant finish.”
