2021 Gemstone 'Heritage Selection' Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville
This opulent, opaque ruby-purple wine offers exuberant flavors of black berry fruits, black mission fig, dried plum, cappuccino dusted with dark cocoa, savory wild fennel, and the hallmark crushed gravel and mineral component of Gemstone vineyard. Full-bodied, with an impressive wealth of sweet blackberry fruit, the wine finishes robust and lengthy, with the kind of structure that promises beautiful development for the next 15+ years.

Lots of red, blue, and black fruits as well as violets, Asian spices, iron, and chocolate notes, emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Selection, a beautifully, pure, medium to full-bodied Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon with fine tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. I love its balance, as well as its complexity. This comes from a mix of old clones and vines planted in 1994 and 1995.
