Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon AVA Series Rutherford Napa Valley 2021 (Magnum 1.5L)

“All the hallmark traits of Napa Valley's Rutherford AVA thread a clear line of intrigue through this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, beginning with dusty mineral notes, wild herbs, and cinnamon-dusted red berry fruit laced with That red fruit expression that grows deeper with a medium-bodied presence and emerging black cherry, graphite, a hint of blood orange zest, and a pop of rose petals florals, all framed by finely grained tannins that have velvet-textured edges. The ripe-fruited and sweet-spiced finish lingers for half a minute.”

“"This is well-fruited, with cassis and plum puree notes cruising through, backed by violet, warm loam and worn cedar accents. A late iron note helps extend the polished finish. Drink now through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."”

“In the same ballpark, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford offers a terrific array of red and black fruits supported by chocolaty oak, spice, and loamy earth-like nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and a balanced, satisfying style to drink over the coming 10-12 years.”
