Argot 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Sage Ridge Vineyard   

2021 Argot Cabernet Sauvignon Sage Ridge Vineyard, Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 98+ Points
Both the spiciest and gutsiest of the 2021 Argot Cabernets, this Pritchard Hill bottling offers concentrated aromas of dark sour cherry, blackberry, clove, graphite, charcoal, camphor flowers, Oolong tea leaves and licorice root. The flavors are a coiled reprise of the aromas, and on the mid-palate the wine is bright, intense and lingers  with an iron backbone of minerality and tannin that underscores its layering of dense, chiseled fruit. If certain to be a  terrific companion to Prime Rib or braised short ribs, it is easily five years away from fully revealing its myriad virtues and wants decanting if served today. 75 cases produced.
