The 2021 VVines California Cabernet Sauvignon captures both power and precision — a vintage shaped by a long, dry growing season that produced small berries with deep concentration and remarkable structure.
In the glass, it pours an intense garnet to nearly opaque ruby, with slow, staining tears that hint at its richness. The nose is expressive and layered: ripe blackcurrant, blackberry compote, and dark plum lead the way, followed by classic California notes of cassis and black cherry. Subtle hints of violet, crushed cocoa nibs, graphite, and cedar emerge with air, framed by well-integrated oak offering tones of vanilla bean, toasted spice, and a touch of espresso.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet polished. The 2021 vintage is known for its concentration and balance — bold fruit at the core, supported by firm but refined tannins. Flavors of dark berry preserve, bittersweet chocolate, and baking spice unfold across a dense mid-palate. A streak of fresh acidity provides lift and energy, keeping the wine vibrant rather than heavy. The finish is long and resonant, with lingering notes of blackcurrant, mocha, and subtle minerality.
This is a Cabernet built for both immediate pleasure and graceful aging. With proper cellaring, it can evolve over 10–20 years, gaining complexity as savory notes of leather, tobacco leaf, and dried herbs develop.
