2021 Slingshot Cabernet Sauvignon, North Coast

Tasting Notes

The 2021 vintage produced a concentrated and bold Cabernet Sauvignon featuring characters of strawberry rhubarb pie, black pepper, clove, and fresh blueberry. The palate leads to flavors of baked fig, mild cigar box, and blackcurrant framed by a bold, gravely tannin structure provided by a small percentage of Petite Sirah. A touch of oak finishes the palate with an elegant balance between tannin, acidity, and body.
