Cartello Estate Cabernet Alexander valley 2021 750 ML
2021 was a superb yet unsurprising vintage in the Alexander
Valley, a welcomed year coming off of the issues of 2020.
Moderate weather persisted throughout the summer with no
real extremes. A late summer drought lead to an early harvest to
preserve freshness. With no real spikes in the conditions, our
fruit was of top quality and the yields were quite generous. The
result was lively wines with great complexity, concentration and
flavor. The perfect lens into the potential of Alexander Valley.
Cartello Cabernet Sauvignon is quintessential Sonoma Cab.
Round and generous, it’s everything you’d expect, but there’s no
denying it’s seriousness from the quality of the farming, fruit and
time spent in French oak. Aged 24 months in 50% new and 50%
2nd use oak, the end result is a class in restrained power from the
region. Supple tannins, integrated oak with a backbone that is
built for the long haul should you choose to hold onto a few
bottles.
Farming: Biodynamic (Practicing) Hand harvested
Fermentation: Partially destemmed, fermented
in stainless steel, gentle
maceration with regular pumpovers.
Aging: 24 months in new and used French oak
