The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Summit Creek is youthfully understated with a whiff of black currants and dusty spice. It's softly textured and round in feel with juicy acidity to balance and an energetic mix of red and black fruits. This tapers off with a coating of chalky minerals offset by a twang of sour citrus, leaving fine- grain tannins that promise many years of positive evolution.

Candied blackberry, sweet oak and peanut brittle aromas make for a hedonistic nose on this bottling. The well-built palate is also toasty with oak flavors that will please those seeking such an experience.
