Precision Wine Co. / Method, Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

 Based in Napa, Precision is responsible for a dozen or so negociant brands.  The winemaking is overseen by Trevor Seehan and for this “Method” label, he teams up with Ian Cauble, a well-known sommelier.  The 2021 wine is 90% Cabernet and 10% Petit Verdot and the blend was aged in a combination of French and American oak for 15 months. It shows good Napa personality with ripe blackberry and black plum fruit with a hint of mint.  Medium full-bodied with lively black fruit, tobacco and light oak on the palate, it has good structure with some polished tannins and oak spice in the finish.  Solid overall.  Previous vintages were highly discounted, so shop around.
