2021 Kathryn HALL Cabernet Sauvignon with a Gift Box
96-98 Points | The Wine Independent, Lisa Perrotti-Brown
"...Deep garnet-purple in color, it waltzes out with gregarious notions of stewed black plums, black cherry compote, and crème de cassis with hints of clove oil, dark chocolate, and cedar. Full-bodied, rich, and spicy and the mouth, the concentrated black fruit preserves flavors are well supported by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a lingering cedary note."
Vintage after vintage, our Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by complex aromas and supple, layered tannin. The 2021 bottling is perfectly integrated, and opens with aromas of blackcurrant, fresh earth, graphite and dark cocoa. On the palate, there is a wash of opulent and lingering tannin with notes of dark fruit, wet stone, and a touch of iron. This is a pure and nuanced wine to enjoy now and over the next 10-15 years.

Vintage Notes | The alluring 2021 vintage is notable for its low yields, which resulted in an extra degree of concentration in our wines. In a second year of severe drought, the vines grew quickly in the warm spring weather while our team carefully managed irrigation block by block. By summer, the vines had set a lighter than average crop, and cooler weather in August allowed time for multiple vineyard passes to finetune the fruit load and manage the canopy. After a smooth harvest season, we are excited about the beautifully balanced, flavor-packed 2021's. |
