2021 Cornell Vineyards Courtship Cabernet Sauvignon | Sonoma County California 750ml

Getting to know a vineyard is a romance. Our mountain estate was established in 2001, followed by redevelopment of select blocks eleven years later. A new bond was forged between the land and these young vines. Courtship is a sophisticated, vibrant expression of Cabernet Sauvignon grown on property, rigorously selected and complete in its own right. Courtship is evidence that, farmed with care, a vineyard at any stage can offer wines of beauty and meaning.
In the 2021 Courtship we find a beautiful mingling of vibrant red fruit with the earth driven profile of a classic mountain wine. Courtship's inviting aromas include rhubarb, tarragon, red currants, and wild blackberry bramble. A sense of umami and minerality at entry sets the stage for primary, unabashed fruit on the palate, like black cherries at peak season. The powdery, pleasant tannins that follow are reminiscent of red plums and their skins. Juiciness is balanced by lithe, lingering structure. | Cornell Vineyards
