2021 Le P'tit Paysan Cabernet Sauvignon, California, United States

This wine opens with a complex aromatic profile of graphite-tinged black plum and fresh California chaparral after rain. On the palate, rich black plum leads before evolving into brighter cherry notes reminiscent of fine kirsch. Balanced acidity supports structured, polished tannins, carrying through to a savory, umami-driven finish.
