St. Supéry Estate Vineyards
Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
St. Supéry – Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Napa Valley, California – USA 🇺🇸
Overview
100% estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced entirely from St. Supéry’s sustainably farmed vineyards in Rutherford and Dollarhide Ranch. Known as one of the few Napa wineries to be fully estate grown and bottled, St. Supéry controls the process from vine to glass, which ensures both consistency and purity of style.
Aromas & Flavors
Aromatically expressive with black currant, blackberry, and ripe plum at the core, joined by hints of cassis, licorice, graphite, and bay leaf. On the palate, layers of dark cherry, cocoa, espresso, and a touch of baking spice unfurl, showing both ripeness and balance.
Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied, framed by firm yet polished tannins and lively acidity. The structure gives freshness without sacrificing depth, finishing long with notes of blackberry compote and savory herbs.
Winemaking Notes
The fruit is hand-harvested from estate vineyards, then carefully sorted before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged predominantly in French oak (a mix of new and seasoned barrels) to achieve balance between oak influence and varietal purity.
Food Pairing
Classic Napa Cab fare: grilled ribeye, lamb with rosemary, or venison. Also pairs beautifully with truffle risotto or a wedge of aged cheddar.
Verdict
A true estate Napa Cabernet, marked by precision and balance. The 2021 vintage shows structure and energy, drinking well now with decanting but offering excellent aging potential over the next 8–12 years.
