Gallica Cabernet Sauvignon The Estate St. Helena Napa Valley 2021

“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate emerges from a tiny vineyard planted to Clone 4 Cabernet on St. George rootstock. Ample, deep and explosive, the 2021 possesses marvelous depth and textural intensity to burn. Readers will find a generous, heady Cabernet. Time in the glass brings out savory, earthy and mineral undertones that lend further complexity. This is such a vivid and expressive wine.”

“"From proprietor and winemaker, Rosemary Cakebread comes to this classic Cabernet, revealing blackberry, cherry, and plum notes mingling with graphite and green tobacco, alongside sage and bay laurel hints. Full-bodied, with layers of pure red and black-toned fruits, elongated fine-grained tannins, and a fine finish of aromatic pressed roses. Sourced from the Gallica estate property on the western side of St. Helena, Clone 4 Cabernet vines have thrived in deep Cortina soils since 1990. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 18 months in French oak."”
