2021 Audentia Cabernet Sauvignon

Our 2021 Audentia is a bold expression from our estate. The wine displays a dense, inky core with a garnet hue. It is full-bodied and concentrated, showing a perfumed nose that opens with saturated blackberry, blackcurrant, and brambleberry. Notes are layered with a floral lift and subtle hints of mocha, baking spices, and anise seed. On the palate, it delivers both opulence and poise. There’s a generous rush of ripe red and black fruits—black raspberries, cherries, and black plums. These are balanced by savory undertones of tobacco leaf, graphite, and crushed earth. Silky, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine through to a long, juicy finish. This wine showcases layered complexity with a graceful tension between richness and restraint. It can be enjoyed in its youth, but also rewards patience, as a few years in the cellar will allow it to soften and develop further nuance.
