Winemaker Tasting Notes
2021 Malk Family Vineyards
Cabernet Sauvginon
Stags Leap District of Napa Valley
Release Date: January 2025
The 2021 Malk Family Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the essence of Stags Leap District, showcasing the vineyard’s signature richness and the appellation's renowned character. This elegant wine bursts with the Griffin vineyard’s hallmarks: ripe black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate interwoven with alluring aromas of star anise, clove, and subtle hints of cedar. The palate is a captivating dance of refined tannins and vibrant acidity, framing a core of concentrated fruit with impressive structure and lingering notes of spice and minerality. While possessing remarkable cellar potential, the 2021 exhibits a more immediate appeal with its refined tannins and seamless integration of fruit and oak.
