2021 Nosotros
Mount Veeder, Cabernet Sauvignon
Rating: 94–96 Points
Vineyard
At about 1700’ above sea level, Nosotros Vineyard sits on a north east facing hillside of Mount Veeder with incredible exposure. The sandstone and shale soils keeps vigor at bay resulting in small berries and small clusters loaded with color. Working with Mountain fruit is much different than working on the valley floor, managing tannins becomes so important during fermentation. The 2021 is balanced, fresh, and delicious, and has the tools to age gracefully.
Set to be bottled in June, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Nosotros comes from a northeast-facing vineyard at 1,700 feet above sea level. It's showing plenty of mocha-tinged oak but also intricate details of spring flowers and sage, plus ample cassis fruit. Full-bodied, velvety and long on the finish, it's a terrific-looking barrel sample. (Drink Date 2024-2040) Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
