The 2021 Throwback Cabernet Sauvignon, with 4% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It comes bounding out with eager-to-please notes of juicy plums, creme de cassis, and blueberry preserves followed by hints of tapenade, tobacco, and lavender oil. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with black fruit preserves and savory accents, framed by chewy tannins and finishing with a peppery kick.
