2021 Mauritson Rockpile Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, California, United States

The bouquet opens with striking layers of black cherry, violet, loganberry, mineral-rich earth, cocoa shavings, woodsmoke, wild coastal brush, and a touch of anise. On the palate, the wine bursts with energy before settling into the bold, structured character emblematic of Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 release showcases refined, polished tannins that frame its depth beautifully. The finish is expansive and complex, carrying a sweet, candied fruit nuance that grows more enticing with time in the glass. Crafted for longevity, it promises enjoyment for well over 15 years.
