Talmage Cellars 2021 California Cabernet Sauvignon

A bottle of Talmage Cellars wine is synonymous with conviviality and sharing. One of the staples of this program is Cabernet Sauvignon—the king of all grape varietals. This 2021 vintage comes from the same vineyard as previous releases, which consistently produces wonderful, sustainably grown fruit year after year. The wine spent several months in a temperature-controlled environment, allowing for ideal aging conditions. This Cabernet Sauvignon has benefited from extended time to soften the varietal’s naturally intense tannins. It opens with a powerful nose of strawberry, blackberry and black currant, followed by mature notes of cedar, tobacco, brown sugar and toasted oak. The mid-palate reflects the same dark fruit flavors, with a soft, medium intensity. The mouthfeel reveals silky tannins that give this Cabernet Sauvignon an elegant, polished character and a long, balanced finish.
