2021 XI Cabernet Sauvignon
11:11 & Destin Vineyards, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley
The 2021 X∙I Cabernet Sauvignon is an eloquent expression of precision and balance, showcasing the exceptional character of its vintage. On the palate, it unfurls layers of dense blackcurrant, plush dark plum, and a hint of wild berries, seamlessly intertwined with a sophisticated touch of new oak that adds complexity. The structural elegance of this wine is underpinned by silky, well-integrated tannins that pave the way for a remarkably smooth texture, while a dash of spice and a subtle earthiness emerge, adding depth and intrigue. The finishing act is a graceful, lingering finish that echoes the harmonious integration of fruit, oak, and tannin—making each sip a testament to the meticulous craft behind this distinguished proprietary red blend. It's a wine that captivates the senses and promises to age with grace, hinting at an even more sophisticated palate to those patient enough to wait.
