Wine Spectator
This sleek, tight, mineral-edged version features lively notes of red currant and raspberry coulis laced with savory and iron elements. Youthfully taut, but with a pinpoint finish

James Suckling
A earthy and attractive nose of forest berries, wild currants, dried leaves, cedar and baking spices. Medium body with firm tannins. Powdery texture at the end. A little hollow now should fill in with a few years of bottle age.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Salvestrin's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley comes largely from the winery's Crystal Springs Vineyard. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Zinfandel and 1% Petite Sirah, it's reasonably priced by Napa Valley standards, and yet it performs pretty consistently from year to year. While not overly concentrated, it's varietally correct, with scents of cassis and black cherries joined by vaguely herbal notions and hints of baking spices and vanilla. Medium-bodied and silky textured, it can be enjoyed in the near term, but it has the inherent balance to see it through another decade or so. It's a super value from a winery that deserves more recognition.
