Mark West California Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Our 2021 Mark West Cabernet Sauvignon brims with layers of blueberry and blackberry preserves with hints of spice. Underlying note of toasted vanilla and caramel give the wine an elegance. The finish is rich and smooth with a lingering touch of dark plum.

Viticulture Notes

California’s 2021 growing season was cool and mild, with a heat spell in August that resulted in an earlier than average harvest. Wines from this vintage showcase vibrant acidity and concentrated flavors.

Winemaking Notes

We hand harvested the grapes for this wine, then destemmed them before crushing to gently extract color and tannins. Portions of the blend were aged on oak for two to four months to preserve elegant fruit notes and impart hints of vanilla. To create an approachable mouthfeel and add notes of spice, we blended a portion of Zinfandel to the Cabernet.
