Blend: 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot,
95+ Points The Wine Independent
The 2021 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, with 7% Merlot and 2% Malbec in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It prances out with wonderfully opulent note of blackcurrant jelly, violets, dark chocolate, and juicy blueberries leading to wafts of iron ore and underbrush. The full-bodied palate is vibrant and refreshing, with tightly wound black fruit and mineral layers, finishing long and fragrant.
95 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous with classic Stags leap purity and finesse in its cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as chalky minerality, flowers, and spicy, graphite-like notes. Full-bodied, concentrated, and pure on the palate, it has fine tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. It's concentrated, but this is more about finesse and elegance.
Winemaker Notes
The Odette Estate Cabernet Sauvignon offers notes of wild blackberry compote, sweet black raspberries, currants, crème de cassis, and licorice with hints of violets, cloves, anise, and exotic spices. This lavish, full-bodied wine is decadent and mouth-filling, with copious layers that stain the palate. Vibrant acidity adds freshness and verve, complementing the purity of the fruit and leading to a long persistent finish.
