2021 Highway 12 Cabernet Sauvignon
92 points, Best Buy!
Tough to follow that 2020 Cabernet with its showy 91 points from Wine Enthusiast but we did it AND beat it! Wine Enthusiast awarded the 2021 Cab 92 points & "Best Buy!"
Blended with 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and about 10% Merlot, the wine was aged in French oak and showcases cedary overtones supported by the round mid-palate body and tingly tannins on the edge of the finish. Entry exhibits soft earthtones on the nose with hints of cherry, blueberry and a vanilla-oak softness. Medium to full-bodied the wine reveals wonderful fruit ripeness supported by richness and a slightly chewy core. Awesome Fall wine, versatile and crowd-pleasing! Serve this alongside your hearty chili bar on a cool Fall evening!
