Trujillo Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

Trujillo Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

This 2021 vintage brings forth the attributes of the drier growing season. Boldly showing off the deep, dark and density in its color. Aromatics flaunt a more firm base, yet layer nicely with complexity and finesse, with forward, plush dark fruit aromas of black cherry, currant, and a hint of plum. Hints of cedar and sweet herbs gracefully lace in for more complexity only adding to its notable depth. The flavors and feel of the wine are bold and forward upon initial taste, then carry forth with a smooth richness and elegant dominance of weight and texture. Expressive flavors of black cherry, currant, and dark bittersweet chocolate paired with just a hint of sweet herbs all lace in seamlessly to a rich, bold, lush, and lengthy finish.

This wine is destined to be “classic vintage” of this decade. I’m impressed with the impeccable structure. It is bold and incredible now, yet quite giving with lush accessibility in its youth. Time in the bottle will be quite rewarding for many years to come. Enjoy!
