Plinth, Napa Valley (California) 2021

Oct 5, 2023

By John McDermott

 The 2021 Plinth Cuvée (formerly known as Wayfarer’s Cuvée) is a blend of 87.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12.5% Cabernet Franc.  This wine comes alive with heady notes of clove, mint leaf, blackberry compote, and dark cherry.  Remarkably approachable in its youth, it nevertheless still shows great structure.  It finishes with a decadent and lengthy bittersweet chocolate note.  Precise and impeccably made.
