Varietal Composition

Tasting Notes

The 2021 Blackboard Cabernet Sauvignon appears dark cherry colored in the glass with savory aromatics of leather, white pepper, hoisin, soy sauce and dry tea leaves mingling with chocolate, berry preserve and cherries. The palate is well balanced with nice, well integrated acidity. Mouth coating tannins and a pleasant sweetness linger on the long finish.

Vinification

Fermented 7-10 days with extended maceration and aged 20 months in French oak.
