Black Powder 'Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon Napa ‘20

From select parcels in Napa's eastern hills, this Reserve Cabernet presents an inky purple-ruby hue. The nose offers profound complexity - layers of blackberry liqueur, cedar pencil, and crushed stone unfold with subtle floral undertones. The palate achieves perfect balance - massive flavors of plum preserves, espresso bean, and roasted game are matched by vibrant acidity (6.1 g/L TA) and polished tannins that earned 97-99 point accolades. Aged 20 months in new French oak, this 15% alcohol wine finishes with minute-long persistence. Decant for prime rib or cellar until 2040+ - the 2021 vintage represents Napa Cabernet at its apex.
