Dukes Vineyard The First Cab Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cabernet was the variety that turned a young Duke Ranson into a wine lover and therefore this name was chosen for the estate’s top Cabernet. This is a very powerful wine with a decent hit of tannins, although they are well proportioned and balanced. It’s deep and dark with immensely robust fruit but still with a degree of fleshy red berry. Right now, it is still tightly coiled but with time it will certainly spring into action to show its best. It’s a very small production wine made from a miniscule planting of Houghton clone Cabernet.
