Dolum Estates
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
, Napa Valley

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
93 Points - James Suckling
97 Points - 2021 Napa Cabernet Vintage Report, Wine Spectator

Lush and fleshy, with cassis, boysenberry, and blackberry notes guided by hints of alder and mesquite. Stays open but defined through the finish, with a buried hint of sweet tobacco.  A rich, layered beast, this has a nose rife with currants, blackberries, vanilla, and light toast with flavors of mocha, plum, and Bing cherry that mingle harmoniously on the tongue.  Artfully composed of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, resulting in harmonious depth and freshness.  Best enjoyed at cellar temperature, and worth opening periodically over the next decade to follow its evolution.  An outstanding wine!

Grapes for this gem were meticulously handpicked from Napa Valley, aged in 70% new French oak barrels for 16 months. The result is a harmoniously intricate flavor profile that exudes sophistication.

The wine's finish is impressively long, offering immediate enjoyment while harboring the potential for graceful aging over the next 10-15 years.

Pairings include: slow-roasted prime rib, bone-in pork chop, duck confit, earthy cheese, chocolate truffle, even a fine cigar by the fireplace.

Napa Valley

The grapes to produce these wine gems are carefully sourced from small sub-districts throughout the Napa Valley (including Oakville and the Stags Leap District) that surround some of the most rewarded wineries In the region.
In addition to sourcing grapes from some of the iconic regions in Napa Valley, Dolum has its own single vineyard that produces wine from a low-yielding 40+ year-old vineyard just off Oakville crossroad.
