Food friendly, and delicious, this Cabernet Sauvignon combines flavors of dark fruit with savory herbs, fennel, and a sprinkle of sweet spices. Approachable tannins and balanced acidity make this a go-to Napa Valley wine.

Borderline outstanding, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has plenty of darker berry fruit as well as good complexity in its leather, leafy herb, and chocolate nuances. It's medium-bodied, nicely balanced, and impeccably made. It should keep for a decade, yet there's no need to delay gratification.
