Cerro Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

“The 2021 Cerro Cabernet was aged for 20 months in French oak. This full-bodied red showcases dark berry fruits and mocha-spiced aromatics, which continue on the palate with bold, burly tannins and enticing notes of charcuterie, black pepper, candied violets, and mulberry fruit, laced with toffee and toasty cedarwood spices. It offers a robust structure and depth suitable for ageing, yet delivers ample immediate pleasure for near-term enjoyment. Cerro wines are produced by Derek Beitler, a winemaker with deep roots in Napa Valley’s wine scene (his uncle, Charlie Wagner, is the founder of Caymus). Derek has crafted the Cerro wines with a focus on sourcing high-quality fruit from prestigious Napa Valley sites, including areas like Rutherford, Calistoga, and the Oak Knoll District.”
