This vintage of our Canada Cabernet Sauvignon is packed with notes of clove, dried cherries, dried thyme and small hints of cedar. A harmonious pair of well-integrated tannins and ripe fruit flavors, this wine is a perfect representation of the vineyard and vintage as a whole.
Vintage:
The 2021 vintage in Texas was an increasingly difficult year for our farmers, yet the result produced exceptional wines. Starting at the beginning of our growing season with an unprecedented snowstorm, the remaining part of the year was filled with harsh and unexpected weather patterns. Yields across all regions of the state were troubled with hail, disease pressures, and drastic plumets in temperature, resulting in smaller than a smaller than normal crop. For the vineyards that were able to produce, the quality was outstanding. Lower than normal temperatures throughout the picking season allowed for grapes to hang longer on the vine, increasing concentration and phenolic development. We are beyond pleased with the wines being produced in the 2021 vintage.
