The Story
A strikingly deep, dark ruby color, this 2021 Ranch No. 2 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits pronounced oak character on its nose, with aspects of mocha espresso, black pepper, and freshly sharpened pencil lead. A subtle coco-powder sweetness ushers in saturated blue and black fruit flavors of cassis and blackberry that evolve on the palate to a more savory, fresh chaparral herb profile of bay laurel and wild sage, the distinctive essence of Rutherford. Profoundly complex, this Cabernet Sauvignon will age well and reward patience with even greater focus, refinement, and density. Consider cellaring this wine for at least 15 years.
