The 2021 Hertelendy Napa Valley Cabernet is excellent in this vintage. It instantly begins with a wonderful aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, black cherries and creme de cassis thats is joined with spices, pipe tobacco, graphite, loam, wild herbs and crushed gravel nuances which all soar from the glass. On the palate this deep, intense Cabernet possesses a full body that is well-structured and backed by a luscious core of beautifully ripe dark fruits, spices and dark chocolate notes that envelope the palate. Everything comes together and lingers on the long, multidimensional finish. While this flat-out delicious today, it also has the makeup to age remarkably well for many years.
