Tether 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: “The 2021 Tether Cabernet Sauvignon is an extraordinary example of this iconic varietal, hailing from a fantastic vintage in the Napa Valley. This wine leaps from the glass with intense aromas of black currant, blackberry and ripe black cherry. Complex layers of the wine’s bouquet continue to evolve in the glass, showcasing hints of crushed volcanic rock, mocha, subtle spice and slow-toasted French oak. This compelling wine possesses a gorgeous mid-palate, fantastic structure, elegant refined tannins and an engaging finish.“

The 2021 is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot ,6% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec

FMW 96 Points: “This dark, intense colored Cabernet by ace-winemaker Anna Monitcelli is the needle in the haystack type of wine!  Gorgeous aromas leaping out of the glass.  Gorgeous, lush body, loaded with bold flavors of black currant, cassis, a whiff of tobacco, and a dollop of chocolate.  Very nicely structured, this full-bodied wine is incredibly well-balanced with great fruit, good acidity, and character!  This youngster finishes with gorgeous long silky-grained tannins that don’t seem to end. I would call this  Value in a bottle!
