axr cabernet sauvignon 2021 1.5L
2021 is a vintage of legacy, with pH levels that were unseen before in Napa-they were low. The lower pH shows a lot of freshness and keeps the wines alive. While the 2021 vintage is not the most voluptuous of vintages, it is classic and Jean equates it to elegance, class, and beauty.
tasting notes:
on the rim: deep, dark, shiny eggplant with touches of black cherry and ruby
on the palate: explosion of cedar, cinnamon and cooking spices with black currant, thyme, rosemary, cigar box and graphite
on the nose: juicy entrance evolving on a dense mid-palate with granular tannins, but coated with a sweet fruit like plum, lingering on graphite and blackberry jam
