2021 MISC Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Classic aromas of black cherries, creme de cassis, kirsch, currant, graphite, violets, tobacco, and vanilla bean front a rich and concentrated palate full of red fruits, spiced minerals, and freshly cut flowers. A powerful yet restrained expression of Oakville’s gravelly and loam soils highlighted by Cabernet Sauvignon’s exceptional purity and focused precision. Additional layers of truffle, leather, dried herbs, cinnamon, clove, and cocoa powder continue to evolve in the glass, showcasing the pedigree of the fruit from this famed region. The wine coats the mouth with fruit-laced tannins backed by a crimson acidity that washes the palate clean with every sip. This small-production wine showcases the unique characteristics of Oakville’s terroir, enhanced only by both its accessibility in its youth and its potential for cellaring.
