The Barnett Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a concentrated, opaque purple wine that stands out in the Spring Mountain wine region. Winemaker David Tate has crafted this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with a blend that includes 12% Petite Verdot, sourced from the ideal rocky mountainside of Barnett Winery Napa Valley.
The color of this wine is a deep, rich purple, much darker than previous years. The aromatics fill the air with vibrant scents of cassis, dark plum, and black licorice. You will also notice prevalent notes of coffee grounds, cola, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is full and silky, offering flavors of mocha, anise, and dark cherries that fill your mouth. The tannins are significant, full, and chalky, providing a firm mountain acidity that brings balance. The finish of Barnett Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is long and luscious, with lingering flavors of chocolate-covered dark cherries.
Critical acclaim for this wine includes 91 points by Wine Advocate, highlighting its complex and structured profile. The review notes the presence of sage and bay leaf joining black cherries and a hint of vanilla on the nose. The full-bodied palate is soft and easy drinking but includes a decent backbone and length with plentiful, soft, dusty tannins on the finish.
James Suckling awarded this wine 90 points, describing it as a firm red with berries, dried herbs, and some warm spices on the nose. It has a medium to full body with firm tannins, although it finishes a little short.
