2021 "The Haze"

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Haze, which includes 7% Merlot, is another tiny production release, with only 186 cases made. It has a beautiful nose of ripe, mint-laced blue fruits, leafy tobacco, graphite, and spring flowers. Deep purple-hued, concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and elegant on the palate, it has a good spine of acidity, ripe tannins, and a great finish. The power of the vintage is present, yet it has a pure, pretty, balanced character. It's a beautiful wine as well as a smoking value from Napa's 2021 vintage. (06/2023)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Haze is a blend of 93% Cabernet from Fortuna and 7% Merlot from Soda Canyon. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes barreling out with bold, open-knit scents of black cherries, mulberries, and stewed plums with hints of spice cake and dried Provence herbs. The full-bodied palate is refreshing and soft-textured with bags of vibrant black fruits, finishing with a perfumed lift. (10/2023)
