The 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an exuberant example of the lush wines produced by our Titus Ranch Estate Vineyard. The wine leaps from the glass with notes of candied cherry, crushed raspberries, allspice, and a fresh bay note that lends it lift. The palate is open with purity on entry, knit together with beautiful acidity and fine-grained tannins. Chocolate-covered blueberry and polished red fruit lead to a lingering finish filled with crème brûlée and roasted coffee bean. Enjoy through 2036.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested over a two-week period from September 11 to September 24, 2021. After harvesting, the grapes were gently destemmed and pumped into tanks for fermentation. This process involved fermenting on the skins with maceration lasting between 14 to 21 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained and racked into a combination of 50% new French and Hungarian oak barrels for aging. It underwent quarterly racking during the first year and was subsequently racked to tank in April 2023 in preparation for bottling. The Cabernet Sauvignon primarily originates from the Titus Ranch Estate, showcasing the depth of flavor and lush tannins that this site consistently produces year after year.
