2021 Haute Montagne Napa Valley Cabernet...$79.99
Pritchard Hill
High in Napa Valley’s prime mountain vineyards above Lake Hennessy at an altitude 1400’, we have found an exceptional source for our 2021 Haute Montagne Cabernet. This is cabernet for cabernet lovers; with power, depth, and definition to spare. The 2021 vintage was near-perfect growing conditions in Napa Valley. It was one of the driest years on record with only 10” of precipitation the entire season. Even temperatures, without heat spikes and a cool, sunny fall resulted in early bloom and perfect conditions for an exceptional vintage. Add a first-class mountain vineyard to this equation and the resulting wine has potential for greatness. The caliber of the vineyard is illustrated by the substance and distinction of this wine. There is an intensity and satisfying heftiness that is complemented by bright lifted fruit. Finely structured black fruit; blackberry, cassis, plum and violets, with aromas and flavors which unfold in the glass, hints at the potential for aging and the rewards for doing so. Here, we find classical winemaking, French oak barrels in the tradition of Bordeaux, but also the voice of California. This wine speaks to balance, structure, fine texture, freshness and complex flavors. Rather than demanding your attention, it compels you to enjoy and explore. 375 cases produced
