2021 Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes:

Our 2021 Robert Hall Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of black currants, cedar, and spice. The wine is full-bodied with cocoa and plush ripe fruit flavors supported by balanced velvety tannins.
 

Winemaking Notes:

This wine has the largest proportion of Estate fruit in our wine lineup. We crisscross the AVA to source grapes from warm sites with good exposure. This helps us create a juicy, full-bodied wine. Aged in French and Eastern European Oak for 18 months.
 

Food Pairing:

Pair with anything off the BBQ, steaks, braised short ribs, and lamp chops.
 

Vintage Notes:

Vintage 2021 began with an encouraging mild start and lower than average rainfall. Bud break and bloom were a couple weeks later than average, setting the growing season back slightly. Temperatures rose significantly in August, shortening the seasonal delay. Heat waves plagued the season from August to October, with temperatures over 110°F for extended periods of time. Harvest began on August 17th, with white wines showing great quality despite the heat. At the end of one of the warmest vintages in Paso, we have found wine flavors and quality to be very good with excellent concentration.
