2021 Amici Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard

96+ POINTS: Lastly, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cimarossa Vineyard comes from a vineyard on Howell Mountain and, like all the Cabernet Sauvignon releases here, was brought up in new barrels. Bouquet garni, iron, cassis, and blue fruits all define this quintessential mountain Cabernet, which is full-bodied, has ripe, polished yet building tannins, a great mid-palate, and one heck of a great finish. It offers a touch of charm and pleasure today, yet this warrants 4-5 years of bottle age. It will see its 20th birthday in fine form as well.
