2021 Hayfork Cabernet Sauvignon Jeb Dunnuck Review

2021 Hayfork Lewelling Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

A rocking little gem of a wine from winemaker Haley Wight, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Lewelling Ranch has an up-front, fruit-driven perfume of black raspberries, plums, cassis, dried flowers, and spicy oak. These all carry to a full-bodied, opulent wine offering velvety tannins as well as the inherent elegance and purity of this great vintage.

2021 Hayfork Field Select Cabernet Sauvignon

A smaller selection from a great site in St. Helena, the deep ruby-hued 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Field Select has a touch more restraint and elegance, with full-bodied aromas and flavors of cassis, plums, spicy oak, and dried flowers. A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot brought up in 90% new oak, it's beautifully balanced, has fine-grained tannins, a good spine of freshness, and a gorgeous finish. This thrilling bottle of wine competes with wines 2-3 times its price. It should shine for 15-20 years if well stored.
