The 2021 Oak Knoll District Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterpiece of vibrancy and elegance, brought to life through three day cold soaking, 24 months of patient aging in French oak, and minimal racking to preserve its purest character. The nose is captivating, opening with lush aromas of wild blackberry, ripe plum, and red currant, intricately layered with hints of crushed violets, dark cocoa, and a whisper of fine leather. Touches of cedar, cigar box, and exotic spice lend an air of sophistication.
On the palate, this wine is a luxurious symphony of textures and flavors, revealing a perfect balance between opulence and freshness. Ripe black fruits envelop the senses, punctuated by silky tannins and a vibrant, mouthwatering acidity that lends finesse to each sip. French oak aging bestows refined notes of toasted vanilla, espresso, and a touch of roasted hazelnut, adding depth without overwhelming the purity of the fruit. The finish is enduring and seamless, with elegant mineral undertones and a lingering whisper of black tea and savory herbs.
A radiant and age-worthy wine, this 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the essence of Oak Knoll with an exquisite, playful charm that elevates each glass to a luxurious experience.
