D.R. Stephens 'Collateral' Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

About the winery: Justin surprised his father, Don Stephens, with the dedication of a special bottling with a striking, minimalist label. He called this wine COLLATERAL in honor of the many years of father-son collaboration, producing wines together under the D. R. Stephens Estate label. Justin initially limited COLLATERAL releases to only the very finest Moose Valley Vineyard barrels from the very best vintages. But this rare wine soon developed its own following, and sent Justin in search of additional remarkable sites for the project. Winemaker's Tasting Notes: "Sensual aromas of violet, rose petal and musk embrace under the sheets, followed by gentle caresses of black cherry, forest floor and cocoa. The palate pushes forward with wild abandon, hammering deep thrusts of black raspberry, rock quarry and ground Ethiopian harrar coffee bean. The release is endlessly long and will have your eyes rolling, leaving you breathless and perhaps questioning your previous wine (and life) choices." Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
