The Joy is back!

Per Napa Valley Vitnerns “The 2021 vintage will be remembered for low yields with intensely-flavored, small-sized berries and a smooth and uneventful harvest season. The season started off with very little rain, leading to the 2nd year of drought conditions in Napa Valley, Harvest began early with white wine grapes picked on July 30th and red wine grapes beginning on August 31. While concerning in the long term, the drought of 2021 resulted in a more natural load on the vines, requiring less pruning and dropping of fruit. The resulting grapes are packed full of flavor. Winemakers across the valley are excited about the prospects of the 2021s and it is likely the smaller yields per vine and smaller berry size will result in another amazing vintage from Napa Valley.”

2021 Dolum SLD Cask 28 Cabernet Sauvignon is lush with rich blackberry and dark cherry notes intertwined with hints of cassis, dried herbs, and a touch of cocoa powder, creating a complex and inviting bouquet. This medium to full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon nature, envelops the palate with layers of luscious fruit flavors, including ripe plum and blackcurrant, complemented by nuances of cedar and baking spices.
