The **2021 Antinori Napa Valley “Townsend” Cabernet Sauvignon** is a polished, full-bodied Napa Cab with a focused core of blackberry, black currant, and black cherry. It layers in violet, white pepper, crushed rock, and a touch of spice, vanilla, and menthol, giving it a cool, lifted edge. The tannins are firm but fine-textured, so the wine feels structured rather than heavy, with a classic Atlas Peak sense of freshness and length. In style, it sits somewhere between a refined Napa Cabernet and the more savory, mineral side of **Montelena-like** Cabernet.
Serve it with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or a mushroom-braised short rib.
