Tasting notes
Another killer 2021, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cornelius Grove reveals a dense purple hue as well as a sensational nose of ripe black and blue fruits, new leather, flowery incense, crushed stone, and graphite. It's rich, full-bodied, has a dense, concentrated mid-palate, and a blockbuster of a finish.

A gorgeous intensity of graphite and grilled seaweed with blackcurrants, black cherries, peaches and pine. Complex, full-bodied and very structured with slightly chewy tannins, yet not overpowering. Muscular and well formed. Beautifully textured. This will age wonderfully. Second release, mostly from hillside vines. Made by Helen Keplinger. Drink after 2027.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cornelius Grove is a big, big step up from the 2019. It offers a combination of mountain freshness with notable mid-palate intensity and volume. Dried herbs, menthol, crushed rocks and spice meld into a core of blue/purplish fruit in this powerhouse Cabernet Sauvignon. Exceptionally vivid and explosive, the 2021 possesses tons of intensity to match its wonderfully complex, dynamic personality. Magnificent.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Cornelius Grove is laced with vibrant red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, spice, crushed rocks and white pepper. Nervy and brilliant, the 2021 possesses notable energy and tons of class. This shows more prominent acid and focused tannins that lend motion and explosive verticality.
