Cathiard 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley syrah 1% CarmenereThe 2021 Cathiard Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the winerys flagship offering, comprised of 100% Cabernet from the oldest vines on the property (45 years old), which are planted at 1200 feet of elevation in the Mayacamas foothills. The wine is full bodied, structured, and intense, with ripe black fruits framed by savory tones of licorice, tar, and herbs. Those who have the patience to cellar it a few years will be richly rewarded. 99 Points James
