More about the 2021 HAUTE MONTAGNE NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON: The 2021 Haute Montagne Cabernet Sauvignon remains a closely guarded treasure among Napa Valley connoisseurs—a refined expression of mountain-grown fruit from a distinguished, yet undisclosed, vineyard.

His tenure at Knights Bridge earned him Wine Spectator’s “Winemaker to Watch” acclaim. Each vintage he crafts exudes disciplined elegance, harmonizing innovation with deep reverence for tradition. Fermented in small lots, aged in fine French oak, and shaped by Bordeaux-inspired methods, the 2021 Haute Montagne Cabernet Sauvignon balances restraint with grandeur. Its sculpted tannins and layered complexity weave power with poise, where each sip hints at a deeper story still untold. Secure some of this extraordinary wine today and allow it to reveal its secrets to you. "The caliber of the vineyard is illustrated by the substance and distinction of this wine. There is an intensity and satisfying heftiness that is complemented by bright lifted fruit. Finely structured black fruit; blackberry, cassis, plum and violets, with aromas and flavors which unfold in the glass, hints at the potential for aging and the rewards for doing so. Here, we find classical winemaking, French oak barrels in the tradition of Bordeaux, but also the voice of California. This wine speaks to balance, structure, fine texture, freshness and complex flavors. Rather than demanding your attention, it compels you to enjoy and explore. 375 cases produced."
