2021 Amulet Estate 'AE' Cabernet Sauvignon

Aromas of black cherry, tobacco leaf, blueberry, and dried herbs lead into a medium-to-full-bodied, plush palate. Flavors of cassis, dark plum, mission fig, and dark chocolate mesh with subtle earth and graphite notes. The texture is smooth and well-integrated, balanced by fine, silky tannins and fresh natural acidity through a long finish.

Farmed sustainably using meticulous canopy and vineyard management. Hand-harvested grapes are carefully sorted and fermented in small, temperature-controlled lots to extract rich color and fine phenolic structure. The blend—predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec—ages in French oak barrels to soften its structure and build complexity before bottling.

Grapes are sourced primarily from sustainably farmed estate and partner plots, including the Bettinelli family vineyards in the Yountville appellation of Napa Valley, California. Located in the central part of the valley, the site benefits from gravelly loam soils and moderate marine fog, allowing for balanced ripening and retained freshness during warm summer days.
