WINEMAKER'S NOTE:
Blue Dog Cabernet Sauvignon is a celebration of Cabernet from two of the best growing regions in the world: Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Napa always brings a polished texture and dark fruit flavors. Sonoma offers exotic spices and silky tannins. The blend of both is captivating and perfectly balanced!
TASTING NOTES:
Spiced, dark-fruited character with notes of plum skin, violets and hints of cedar and wet stones. Full-bodied, structured and long, with fine, nicely crafted tannins that form the backbone of the wine. It’s rich and intense yet focused and poised. Better after 2027.
- James Suckling, 92 pts.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Blue Dog pours an inky purple/red color and takes on blue fruit on the nose, with notes of plum, blueberry, menthol, sweet oak spices, and sappy earth. Coming from Rutherford in Napa and Dry Creek Sonoma, it’s fleshy and ripe all the way through, with more persistence in length, and has a long finish. It is a more successful ripe wine that should hold on well over the next 7-8 years.
