2021 Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | Rutherford, Napa Valley California 750ml

Morisoli Vineyard features one hundred percent estate grown fruit, focused on expressing the land and vintage characteristics while remaining true to the grape. Our winemaker creates classically styled and restrained wines with a modern refinement. The resulting wines are exceptionally age-worthy with a strong sense of place.
After a picture-perfect growing season the grapes were harvested, destemmed, and received 3 days of cold soaking to gently extract color from the skins. The must in the tank was then inoculated with yeast and received 2 to 3 pump overs a day during a total of 20 days of maceration. After draining and pressing, the wine displayed beautiful dark color and pinpoint intensity. Barrel aging lasted for 27 months in 70% new French oak barrels from Maury and Seguin Moreau. The wine is powerful, with firm tannins with seamless integration adding to the wine's depth and richness. Ripe black cherry and cassis with a hint of savory herbs and mocha give way to a lasting finish allowing for decades of exceptional aging. 180 cases produced. | Morisoli Vineyard

Cassis, graphite, violets, crushed stone, and that classic Rutherford chocolate and dusty earth all emerge from the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard...It's full-bodied and has a dense, structured core that's going to warrant reasonable cellaring. Hide bottles for 4-6 years, and it will see it's 30th birthday in fine form... | 96+, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
