2021 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
Notes of cranberry, black plum, and red cherry give way to a palate rich with wild blackberry, mocha, vanilla, and tobacco notes. The lively acidity and polished tannins frame a core of elegant fruit and delicate oak, creating a balanced and inviting experience.
This wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered to preserve its character. Natural sediment may occur.

Download Tech SheetOur Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon from the Lincoln Creek Vineyard embodies the unique contrasts within the Napa Valley. Despite its proximity to our Winery Ranch in Stags Leap District, this wine showcases a remarkably different profile, characterized by a softer tannin structure and a fruit-forward palate. The wine presents a friendly, juicy texture with lush red fruit flavors dominating the front palate. Less new French oak and a lighter toast profile subtly enhance the mid-palate without overshadowing the wine’s naturally smooth and graceful structure. This Oakville Cabernet is a delightful mid-week luxury, perfect for elevating any casual meal.
