2021 The Vice Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Coyote Loser Howell Mountain, California, United States

From the first sniff, The Coyote jumps off the glass with ripe aromas of dark berries, Chambord, and sweet tobacco notes. Muscular but defined, the palate shows waves of blackberry paste, plum reduction, cedar with plenty of toast. An immediate appeal for such a young Cab, with a wonderful sense of harmony and enough fruit to keep pace for years to come. An ultra-long finish that stretches for minutes, this winner is ready to play now or to cellar for decades to come.
