Coming from rockier soils closer to the Silverado Trail, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Alluvial Selection is deeper purple-hued and offers another level of everything – fruit, concentration, tannins, and class. Cassis, graphite, crushed stone, and violets are just some of the notes, and it's full-bodied and powerful on the palate, with tons of potential. It won't be for instant gratification, however.
