Curtis Cavaliere Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A woodsy tree herb is met with blackberries and dark plums. Lead pencil, cinnamon and caraway seed sit on the side lines. The palate shines a light on the Acai fruit with spearmint, boysenberries and graphite. Tannins sit upfront, gathered around the middle palate driving home some of the black toned fruit. The stellar vintage is showing in its integration of ripe fruit and slinky feel across the palate. This is in a nice drinking window, with another 5-8 years bringing forth those pencil box and treacle like elements. For now it would show off a well charred sirloin nicely.
