Our 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon captures Napa magic in every detail. The 2021 growing season delivered one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated vintages in recent memory — low yields, pristine fruit, and extraordinary concentration.  Sourced from elite volcanic vineyards — including the heights of Atlas Peak and our Rockwell Ridge estate in Crystal Springs AVA — this limited-production wine reflects the purity, tension, and refinement that made 2021 so exceptional.

Aged 23 months in 90% new French and Hungarian oak, it stands as a deeply structured, impeccably balanced Cabernet that showcases both power and sophistication. Critics have hailed 2021 as a collector’s dream, and this bottling lives up to that reputation with its poise, density, and remarkable aging potential.

With only 299 cases produced, this is a rare opportunity to secure a top-tier expression of a legendary Napa vintage.

Ratings

“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, with 5% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. A little closed and broody to begin, it soon unfurls to offer notes of creme de cassis, baked plums, and boysenberries plus suggestions of chocolate mint and lilacs. The medium to full-bodied palate is laden with fragrant black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and impressive freshness, finishing long and with great purity.” — The Wine Independent, (97-99) Points

"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is another inky, concentrated, yet incredibly pure and impressive 2021 from this estate. Blackcurrants, crushed stone, graphite, violets, and scorched earth notes all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and some serious yet perfectly ripe underlying tannins. This cuvée is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc aged 23 months in a mix of French and Hungarian oak." — Jeb Dunnuck, 96+ Points

"The 2021 Hertelendy Napa Valley Cabernet is excellent in this vintage. It instantly begins with a wonderful aromatic profile of ripe blackberries, black cherries and creme de cassis thats is joined with spices, pipe tobacco, graphite, loam, wild herbs and crushed gravel nuances which all soar from the glass. On the palate this deep, intense Cabernet possesses a full body that is well-structured and backed by a luscious core of beautifully ripe dark fruits, spices and dark chocolate notes that envelope the palate. Everything comes together and lingers on the long, multidimensional finish. While this flat-out delicious today, it also has the makeup to age remarkably well for many years." — International Wine Report, 96 Points
