2021 Gundlach Bundschu Cabernet

 Great Price for a wonderful Sonoma Cabernet!


2021 Gundlach Bundschu Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley...$39.99
Awesome Price - wine-searcher.com average price is $54


Blend: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec

Potent, earthy aromas like dried black figs, black truffles and oak char lead to a firm, tannic palate packed with black fruits, dark chocolate, graphite and cedar notes. The wine is intensely concentrated, showing good potential for aging. Best from 2026–2036.
Rated 94/100 Wine Enthusiast

Earthy aromas of plums, black cherries and just-ripe figs. An intensely dark color with a plush yet structured palate and flavors of dark chocolate and graphite. Abundant yet integrated tannins. A powerful full body.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec and matured for 18 months in 50% new French oak. It opens with wafts of flint and grilled game meats that give way to blackcurrant, chocolate-covered cherries, holiday spice, dried roses and thyme. The full-bodied palate pairs concentrated, nuanced flavors with firm tannins and seamless freshness, and it has a long, graphite-laced finish.
