STEL+MAR - Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

This classically-styled Cabernet Sauvignon was made with grapes grown in select vineyards from Central and North Coast California. Full-bodied and deliciously juicy, it is ruby red in color with aromas of black currant, cherry, and toasted vanilla. The palate explodes with fresh blackberry, caramel, a hint of coffee, and is underpinned by delicate tannins. Vivino users rank this Cabernet Sauvignon in the top 1% of wines globally — a rating nearly unheard of for wines under $15.

Our vinification process begins right from delicate harvest and press. We feel this adds to the Intense and Aromatic, yet Restrained creation we call our Cabernet Sauvignon. Fermentation begins in aged tall American redwood tanks, then transferred to 80% French Oak and 20% New American Oak Barrels to Finish the last 3 months. Full-bodied, Juicy, Balanced and Elegant, it is ruby red in color with aromas of black currant, cherry and, toasted vanilla on the nose. The palate explodes with fresh blackberries, caramel, a hint of coffee. Great tension and underpinned by delicate tannins. – Philip Zorn – Winemaker – STEL+MAR
