"This Gorgeous Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is imbued with tremendous freshness, poise, and energy. Focused and pure aromas and flavors of black cherries and spiced plums are laced with flinty minerals, crushed cocoa nibs, and perfumed dried florals with just a hint of incense. Full-bodied and exuding elegance through deftly integrated precision-focused tannins and a fire spine of zest acidity."
"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Sommet is made from 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out with powerful notes of blackcurrant preserves, juicy blackberries, and mulberries, plus nuances of cedar chest, anise, and potpourri. The concentrated, full-bodied palate is jam-packed with black fruit and exotic spices layers, supported by a solid backbone of firm, grainy tannins and great tension, finishing long and opulent."
"The 2021 Au Sommet is a classy, elegant wine, and also one of the most restrained Cabernets readers will find on Atlas Peak. Blood orange, mint, exotic spice and dried flowers add nuance to a host of dark red fruit flavors. Medium in body and driving, the 2021 is wonderfully vibrant from beginning to end. The long, translucent finish rounds things out in style. Give this a few years to soften."
"Blackberries, dark plums, cedar, dried herbs, stones and forest floor on the nose follow through to a full body with plush tannins and texture. It's rich yet balanced with a fresh array of blackberries at the center an a constant frame of spices bringing vitality and giving lift to a juicy fruit on the palate. Well crafted and harmonious with a precise, long finish."
