Calla Lily, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

 This is a big boy that will need significant time to unwind, but it will do so in style.  Winemaker Cary Gott has been through a few vintages in Napa Valley — okay, more than a few — and he clearly recognized the chance to make a long term ager with the 2021 fruit here.  There is a dense fruit core that runs from start to finish, but it is a little under the oak load at present.  As the wood integrates this will be a prize at a relative bargain price.  Also contains 5.3% Cabernet Franc, 4.7% Merlot and 0.1% Malbec.  I like a guy who does his math.
