2021 Titus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: Produced from the Titus Ranch Estate Vineyard this Cabernet shows the balance and poise that is distinctive from the winery's home vineyards. Aromatically the wine exhibits cherry, plum, and fig fruit aromas with lingering hints of baking spice, leather, and black tea. Vibrant and smooth on the entry the wine opens with red fruits, cherry hard candy, and berry compote that hold the fresh acidity in balance with fine grained tannins. Cigar box and Bing cherry meld with the rich texture and develop to coco powder and espresso on the finish where the wine lingers pleasantly.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dried raspberries, spices, cedar and bark. Full-bodied with a mellow, fruit-forward character and creamy texture to the tannins. Delicious and smooth with a velvety finish. "


Jeb Dunnuck - "The appellation 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, and smaller portions of Malbec, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. It's another fabulous wine from this estate, offering pure cr me de cassis, classy oak, new leather, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. With medium to full-bodied richness, plush, integrated tannin, and the vintage's fresher, focused style, it tastes like it costs three times the price. "


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon deftly balances hints of vanilla and cedary oak against notes of ripe cherries and cassis. While not overly complex, it's harmonious and supple, a medium to full-bodied wine that will complement a meal rather than overpower it, yet it still has ample concentration, richness and depth. "
