The 2021 Twisted Oak Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is vivid, deep ruby in the glass.  The nose is vibrant, offering ripe dark fruits of blackberry and black cherry layered with cedar, vanilla, and tobacco.  On the palate, vibrant flavors of ripe blackberry and cassis intertwine with cedar, warm baking spices, and roasted espresso beans. Full-bodied and structured, the wine is framed by firm tannins and bright acidity, creating balance and energy. A long, expressive finish underscores the wine’s elegance and aging potential. Aged for 28 months in 72% New French Oak. 238 cases produced.

Vintage Notes: 
The 2021 Napa Valley vintage is defined by low yields, small berries, and a smooth harvest. The second year of drought led to minimal rain, but the vines thrived with less pruning and fruit dropping. Harvest began early, and despite concerns over the drought, the resulting fruit is intensely flavored and concentrated, resulting in wines that are focused and full of potential.
