2021 PLATINUM Cabernet Sauvignon

A totally unique, wild and expressive beast of a wine… it takes a few hours of decanting before this beauty opens her legs wide open and blooms with floral aromatics that make your knees weak. More perfumed than cologned, the voluminous, sweet and spicy fruit essences are balanced by the scents of forest bathing naked among towering ancient French oak trees. Titillated by scents of beeswax and rose water on the mid-palate, you’re whisked away toward a finish that embodies both elegance and grace. The mountain tannins from Upper Range vineyard are enveloped in the plushness of Caldwell, uniting in a decidedly satin-sheet finish that beckons you toward the next glass.

Platinum is made only in the years when the stars align – when winemaker and vineyard meet in the ethers to create a singular, extraordinary, unadulterated celebration of the best life has to offer.
