Winemaker's Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

"This amazing wine comes exclusively from the oldest block on the vineyard, planted in 1985. It features aromas of dried red currants, black raspberry paste, milk chocolate, licorice pastille, crushed violets, tanned leather, and a firm minerality. The core on this wine is deep and concentrated, with flavors of red currant reduction, blackberry, anise, bittersweet chocolate, and a complex minerality on the long finish. Give this some time to come together, and this wine will last decades. Drink 2028-2048." - Chris Peterson, Winemaker

98 points, Owen Bargreen "A marvelous wine from a great vintage for red wines, the 2021 Avennia ‘Estate Vineyard’ Cabernet Sauvignon is up there with the finest wines that this house has ever produced. On the nose this exudes class with black rose petals that mingle well with fresh sage, dark chocolate shavings, graphite, black plum and shades of loamy soils. The palate is plush and neatly textured with good flavor density and weight. Delicious and bright, showing excellent verve, enjoy this beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon over the next twenty years to come. Drink 2024-2044."
