The 2021 Lopez Vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and sage, laced with earthy hints of wet stone and cedar.

On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied density of dark plum and blueberry, wrapped in supple, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity for seamless balance. Subtle layers of clove, violet, and iron add nuance, leading to a long, fresh finish that echoes the Oakville terroir’s signature power. This polished expression rivals the structure of top Pritchard Hill neighbors. Decant for an hour and pair with grilled ribeye or mushroom risotto.
