2021 Perfect Season Cabernet Sauvignon

The grapes that go into each bottle of Perfect Season are meticulously grown in our Bidwell Creek Vineyard and cultivated to the exacting standards of our winemaking and viticultural teams. At harvest, grape clusters are picked by hand and placed in small bins to prevent ruptured skins. In the winery, whole clusters are gently de-stemmed. The resulting individual berries are optically sorted to remove imperfect ones so each berry in Perfect Season is individually selected.

2021 PERFECT SEASON REPRESENTS A BEST BARREL SELECTION FROM OUR ESTATE VINEYARD.
IT’S RICHLY LAYERED, FULL AND INKY DARK
WITH CHOCOLATE, RED AND BLACK FRUITS,
AND HOLIDAY BAKING SPICES THAT FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE PALATE.
THE MOUTHFEEL IS OPULENT WITH SILKY TANNINS.
THE FINISH IS LINGERING AND DOMINATED BY FRUIT.

The 2021 vintage of Perfect Season Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted by winemakers Philippe Melka, Maayan Koschitzky, and the Atelier Melka team from grapes farmed by viticulturist Jim Barbour. In its youth, it benefits from 2 hours of decanting. We hope you enjoy!
