Arkenstone NVD Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml
94
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was aged in 75% new French oak. It is a stylish, powerfully concentrated wine with heady black currant, cassis, cedar, and dark chocolate notes. It is full-bodied with an expressive undercurrent of graphite-iron minerality that persists for over a minute. Generously ripe red berry fruits frame plush, fine-grained tannin, and ample sweet spices round out this terrific wine from Sam Kaplan.

There are 750 cases of Arkenstone’s 2021 NVD Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from several locations across Napa Valley. Subtle herb shadings, including wild sage, accent ripe cherries, joined by hints of blueberries and dusty earth. Full-bodied and plush, framed by silky tannins, this is long, vibrant and elegant on the finish. It’s a lovely, accessible wine to drink while waiting for the mountain wines to hit their best.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2035
