2021 "Polyspline" Cabernet Sauvignon - Philipp Melka

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Polyspline is made by Philippe Melka and comes mostly from Ecotone and Martines Vineyard, and it includes 3% Petit Verdot that was brought up in 85% new barrels. It's a structured, concentrated, beast of a wine offering lots of red and black fruits, baking spices, chocolate, and hints of iron. Full-bodied, concentrated, and structured on the palate, this is classic 2021 all the way. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for 3 decades with ease. (12/2023)
