WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2024
Magenta-hued, this deep wine is opulent with aromas of black cherry cola, boysenberry and candied spiced pecans. The palate boasts flavors of blackberry confiture, fresh peaches, baked graham cracker crust, allspice and vanilla wafting through to the finish. Pair with braised beef cheeks. (Tonya Pitts)

Where It's From

Region / California

View more wines from California

When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).

The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.

This seductive wine rolls up all the velvety appeal of Oakville Cabernet in a bottle that’s comparatively affordable for what many consider Napa’s best AVA for Cab. Plump dark plums, black currants, dark chocolate and cinnamon come to mind while savoring this full-bodied but gentle wine. Tannins are profuse but silky, so the wine is enjoyable already. Best from 2025–2035. (Jim Gordon)

A very firm and polished red with currants, chocolate and salted almonds. Terra-cotta. Medium body. Juicy and flavorful with extremely polished tannins. Very creamy textured. Give it two or three years to come around. Drink after 2025. (James Suckling)
JD9393 pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - 12/26/2023
Checking in as 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Petit Verdot, all from Oakville, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville sports a dense purple hue to go with straight-up textbook Oakville notes of darker fruits, iron, black olives, and tobacco, with just a kiss of background spring flowers. It’s medium to full-bodied, round, textured, beautifully balanced, and has tons of classic varietal character. It’s a brilliant value to enjoy any time over the coming 15 years. (Jeb Dunnuck)

A friendly and approachable Cab Sauv, this comes with a plush tannic structure, an acidity that highlights the vivacity of the fruits and well-integrated oak. There are notes of red and black currant, plum and cherry, with sprinklings of vanilla, clove, nutmeg and toasted wood.

Red and black fruits, flowers, spice, and some gravelly earth all emerge from the 2021 Double Blessings Michael, a medium to full-bodied red based on Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s balanced, has ultra-fine tannins, incredible overall balance, and a great finish. It’s a sensational wine. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Made by Maayan Koschitzky (of Atelier Philippe Melka), the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is all varietal brought up in French oak. Its deeper ruby/plum hue is followed by a classic Cabernet Sauvignon nose of cassis and black cherries supported by plenty of sappy herbs, graphite, and obvious minerality. This medium-bodied, lively, elegant Cabernet has ripe, building tannins, a good spine of acidity, and outstanding length. Drink this classic, impeccably made 2021 over the coming 10–12 years, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve longer. (Jeb Dunnuck)
