The 2021 Suscol Springs Cabernet Sauvignon, with 2% Merlot in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. It bursts with vibrant notes of red and black currant jelly, fresh blackberries, and licorice plus underlying hints of wild sage, cast-iron pan, and black olives. The full-bodied palate offers great intensity of black and red berry layers, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a lingering ferrous note.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs is 98% Cabernet Sauvignon with 2% Merlot, all of which spent 22 months in 54% new French oak. It's probably the biggest, softest wine of the trio and has a ripe, opulent style in its plum, blueberry, chocolate, iron, and spicy wood-driven aromas and flavors. It has beautiful purity, full-bodied richness, sweet tannins, and a great finish. Drink this beauty any time over the coming 15 years or so.
