2021 MacDonald Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon (Pre Arrival)
"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is dense and potent but also quite structured. Dark fruit, plum, graphite, incense, licorice and lavender are some of the many notes that grace the 2021. Silky, plush red cherry, mocha, rose petal and spice unfurl with time in the glass. This is a decidedly mid-weight wine with firm, chalky tannins. Graeme MacDonald backed off extractions a bit in 2021, which suggests a drive towards greater freshness. This is also the first vintage made at the Mending Wall facility, which is quite a bit less cramped than at Kongsgaard, where all the previous wines were made. The 2021 saw 38 days on skins and 22 months in barrel. It is an absolutely gorgeous wine, but it is also more reticent than most vintages at this stage."
- Antonio Galloni of Vinous (12/23)
A benchmark Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Napa Valley’s most historic vineyards. Powerful yet precise, the 2019 MacDonald Cabernet delivers classic Oakville concentration, structure, and age-worthy depth.
