This medium- to full-bodied wine is concentrated, rich and dense yet never heavy or overdone; it's tannic but without any harshness, exhibiting awesome length and elegance on the finish.

As is family tradition here, the wine’s octane is not listed on the label, but I would bet it is below 13.5 percent. The bouquet is quite similar to their 2023 Tanbark Hill, albeit with more depth and purity, as it wafts from the glass in a nascently complex blend of cassis, dark berries, coffee bean, cigar wrapper, a beautiful foundation of Spring Mountain soil, incipient smokiness, a touch of currant leaf and a refined framing of cedary new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full bodied, seamlessly balanced and rock solid at the core, with great soil signature, firm, beautifully integrated tannins, great grip and a very, very long, impeccably balanced, refined and utterly stunning young finish. This year the wine’s cépages is eighty-two percent cabernet sauvignon, fifteen percent merlot, two percent cabernet franc and one percent petit verdot. All of the varieties were co-fermented and the wine was raised in forty percent new casks this year. This is a simply perfect young cabernet sauvignon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1j6tmez\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-rttzwj\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body1 mui-style-sm3q8c\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-1kkt86i\"\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-subtitle1 mui-style-liqabo\"\u003eReview Date:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e11\/2025\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiStack-root mui-style-xiq7hi\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-body2 mui-style-1v7thld\"\u003eThe 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is outrageously beautiful.

It's a wonderfully floral and fragrant version of Hillside at this stage of its evolution, with hints of violets accenting black cherries and cassis; the 100% new French oak has seemingly already been absorbed into the wine.

Sensational amounts of cassis, graphite, darker chocolate, graphite, tobacco, and a Pauillac-like lead pencil character all define this ultra-classic, focused, structured 2021 that has a slightly more focused, seamless style than normal. The purity is world class, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mouthfeel, sweet yet building tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish.
