2021 Leopoldina Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromatics of boysenberries, brambleberries, and signature Leopoldina Vineyard herbaceous-ness command the senses, setting the stage for the sensory journey to come. On the palate, tart black cherries, crème de cassis, wild plums, and dusted blackberries tango elegantly, seamlessly balancing hedonistic power and opulence with grace and finesse. This delightfully dynamic interplay captivates through the endless finish, beckoning the senses for another next sip.
praise for 2021 leopoldina vineyard cabernet sauvignon
“Dense purple hued, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Leopoldina Vineyard comes from a site in Oakville and has a brilliant perfume of cassis and ripe black fruits, interwoven with plenty of tobacco, espresso, and graphite-like nuances. It’s full-bodied, concentrated, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s another killer wine from this team and it competes with wines 2-3 times its price. Give bottles a few years and enjoy over the following 15+.”

“To this taster, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Leopoldina Vineyard—with its aromas of crushed sage, crushed stone and crushed black cherries—shows a bit more complexity than the Fortuna Vineyard bottling. It’s medium to full-bodied, nicely silky and textured, concentrated and a bit tannic but long and mouthwatering on the finish, showing terrific freshness and balance.”
