TorOakvilleCabernetSauvignon

This Cabernet Sauvignon – the product of Tor Kenward’s 40 years of experience in Napa Valley – is sourced from two incredible vineyard sites in Napa’s famed Oakville AVA. Showing all the incredible hallmarks of top class Napa Cabernet, this wine is defined by its dark fruit and perfumed characteristics, as well as a touch of minerality from its iron rich soils.

92+/100 – Bottled just one week before I tasted it, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville was showing rather well, with gentle floral and sage nuances set against a backdrop of rich loam and black cherries. Yes, it’s still a bit tight, but this medium to full-bodied effort boasts silky tannins and a long finish. Don’t overlook it because it isn’t vineyard-designated. – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate

92/100 – The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville) is a big, full-bodied wine that will delight readers who enjoy the more overt side of Napa Valley Cabernet. Tobacco, spice, leather, chocolate, licorice and savory tones are front and center. A dollop of Petit Verdot from Tench adds darkness. – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

95/100 – A very firm and polished red with currants, chocolate and salted almonds. Terra-cotta. Medium body. Juicy and flavorful with extremely polished tannins. Very creamy textured. Give it two or three years to come around. Drink after 2025. – James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
