"The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Clajeux Vineyard is laced with dark red cherry, spice, mint, white pepper, chalk, pomegranate and kirsch.  In 2021, the Clajeux is a bit forward, but its open-knit personality will provide plenty of near and medium-term pleasure.  Today, the 2021 comes across as quite densely packed.  There is almost certainly more to this than it is showing today.  I especially admire its persistence and character." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Since 2003, we have worked with the same 14 rows in this vineyard, and have found that this fruit yields our most elegant Cabernet, with incredible depth of color, varietal flavor, and refined, streamlined tannins and acidity. The wines from this site seem the most approachable in their youth out of our three Cabernet vineyards, but still possess the framework for long-term cellaring. Clajeux vineyard has played a central role in our winery for over 15 years and we look forward to growing and learning more from this meaningful site for Cabernet Sauvignon in Sonoma County for years to come."
