Kukeri Petar 2021 Cabernet Oak Knoll
2021 Kukeri Cabernet Sauvignon “Petar” Oak Knoll Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel 92+
This is an elegant, charming dinner wine already, and it promises even more appeal for those who can give it some cellar-time. The nose offers focused aromas of red currant jam, sweet red cherry, baking spice, toffee and vanilla which grow in richness and elegance as the wine airs. It proves attractively gutsy yet delivers the same focused harmony on the palate, where although the mouth-feel is youthfully firm the flavors expand with airing to become a true reflection of the aromas. The finish is deliciously lingering and the wine should improve for another two years. 125 cases produced.
