2021 Greer Cabernet Sauvignon

Still youthful and more tight and closed than on release, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon offers wonderfully pure cassis, redcurrants, spice wood, and graphite aromas and flavors in a full-bodied, juicy, focused, incredibly promising style. Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 19 months in 60% new French oak, it has plenty of tannins and a great finish. It needs to be hidden in the cellar for a good 4-5 years, but it’s a beautiful wine in the making that's going to rival the truely greats here. Drink 2029-2044. (01/2026) 

99 Punkte: The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a truly magical wine, and I'm probably underrating this beauty by a point. All varietal from a site just next to Bella Oaks, it reveals a dense purple hue to go with sensational notes of crème de cassis, darker currants, loamy earth, iron, and espresso. Deep, full-bodied, and powerful, yet incredibly layered, flawlessly balanced, and light on its feet, it reminds me slightly of the 2013. It offers pleasure even today yet deserves 4-6 years of bottle age and will evolve for 30 years in cold cellars. This is sensational juice. (02/2024)
