2021 Pilcrow Howell Mountain Granite Lake Cabernet Sauvignon...$124.99
Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Granite Lake Cabernet Sauvignon rockets out with a firework display of ripe blackberries, mulberries, and warm cassis opening out to an undercurrent of tapenade, cardamom, and garrigue plus a waft of star anise. The medium-bodied palate is completely coated with ripe black berry and earthy layers supported by very firm yet ripe tannins and beautiful tension, finishing with lots of long-lasting savory sparks. This is like sipping a beautiful mountainside forest. It comes from a single vineyard on Howell Mountain at an elevation of 2,097 feet and was aged 22 months in French barriques, 30% new. 235 cases were made.”
Rated 97/100 The Wine Independent
2021 Pilcrow Yountville Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon...$124.99
Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon sashays out with gregarious notes of Morello cherries, black raspberries, and redcurrant preserves leading to hints of red roses, iron ore, underbrush, and cinnamon stick. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and racy, delivering shimmery red and black berry layers with ripe, grainy tannins, finishing on a lingering ferrous note. This comes from an organic-certified single vineyard in Yountville and was aged 22 months in French barriques, 30% new. 242 cases were made
