ACCOLADES
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent (97 Points) – Deep garnet purple in color, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Don Thomas Vineyard slowly emerges with profound notes of crème de cassis, Black Forest cake and stewed plums followed by suggestions of forest floor, iron ore and violets. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers beautifully ripe, plush tannins and compelling tension to support the taut, muscular fruit, finishing long and wonderfully pure.
James Suckling (94 Points) - Aromas of blackcurrants and blueberries with hints of violets, cardamom, black tea and black olives. Beautiful texture with balance and freshness to the fruit. Polished and super-fine tannins with medium to full body and a long, even finish. Better after 2025.
The Wine Advocate (91+) - From a site in Rutherford, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Don Thomas Vineyard offers up aromas of black cherries accented by hints of mint and vanilla. Only medium-bodied, this wine comes across as a bit restrained yet nicely silky and tannic.
