The 2021 Metisse Jumping Goat Vineyard comes from a site next to Spottswoode on the western side of St. Helena. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% each Merlot and Petit Verdot, it showcases attractive notions of ripe cherries, florals (violets?) and clean dusty earth. Medium to full-bodied, it's velvety in feel yet vibrant at the same time, with a long, lush finish. It's a beautiful wine, concentrated and harmonious, approachable now, yet capable of evolving for 20 years.
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Jumping Goat Vineyard Métisse is fabulous. Dense and quite savory, the 2021 possesses tremendous depth and vibrancy. There is a quite a bit more in the way of minerality and savory elements than is often the case. Blackberry jam, graphite, chocolate, spice, new leather and chocolate saturate the palate. This tannic, brooding beauty needs time.
