2021 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa RATING JD 90 On the palate is classicalWinery Notes: The 2021 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, leads with a heady aromatic rush of lilac, blackcurrant, ripe raspberry, vanilla, and clove. The palate reveals flavors of blackberry cobbler, fig, and raw almond packed around a tight knit core of soft tannin. The judicious use of new French oak lends structure while adding a flash of espresso and cedar through a luxurious finish.
