2021 Schug Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma

2021 Schug Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma image

Francis Mahooney gave them most of the budwood, the older clones gave you more earth and terroir. The difference between the two cabernets is valley alluvial soils fruit and versus mountain fruit, above fog as opposed to under fog in the morning on the valley floor. A good amount of cigar box spice and dark currant and black raspberry berry fruit, nice richness but also has good freshness and balance with a note of that spice and earth showing through the finish. Finish 40 Excellent



 



This supple and generous Cabernet Sauvignon blend is hand-crafted in the classic Bordeaux style that Walter Schug pioneered in the 1970s as Winemaker of Joseph Phelps Vineyards.



The rich mouthfeel highlights ripe dark cherry and plum flavors framed by a fine tannin structure and a touch of spicy oak. It has a classic bouquet bursting with black fruits, blueberry, and hints of chocolate. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot are blended in to add depth and elegance, further enhancing the rich berry flavors and lively acidity.



Blend: 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot
