Paul Dolan Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 hails from California’s Mendocino County, a region celebrated for its commitment to sustainable viticulture and expressive wines. This vintage reflects the area’s unique terroir, where meticulous vineyard care meets balanced winemaking. Crafted with a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 8% Petite Sirah, it captures the essence of its origin while delivering exceptional complexity.
The wine opens with vibrant aromas of bright cherry, rhubarb, and cranberry, intertwined with notes of brambly blackberry. On the palate, flavors of juicy raspberry, Rainier cherry, and kirsch unfold, layered with subtle hints of vanilla and cedar. Fine-grained tannins provide a smooth texture, while a touch of oak enhances the wine's structure, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
This Cabernet Sauvignon is best enjoyed slightly decanted to allow its flavors to fully develop. Whether paired with grilled meats, hearty stews, or simply savored on its own, it delivers a memorable tasting experience that speaks to the craftsmanship of Paul Dolan Vineyards.
