Vineyard 36 2021 "OVR" Oakville Ranch Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2021 Vineyard 36 "OVR" Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterful expression of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced entirely from the Plateau block within the prestigious Oakville Ranch Vineyard. Located in the iron-rich, volcanic foothills of eastern Oakville, Napa Valley, this specific vineyard site infuses the wine with notable structural depth and intensity. Crafted by prominent winemaker Keith Emerson, the "OVR" designation features a dynamic label that alters with each new vintage to celebrate the magical influence of the night sky over the grape-growing cycle.

The 2021 vintage delivers punching aromatics characterized by an opulent and exceptionally ripe profile. On the nose, it bursts with luxurious scents of blackberry pie, rich black cherry, and dried lavender, accented by complex barrel undertones of all-spice, nutmeg, and warm baking spices. The palate is bold, dark, and deeply structured, boasting powerful mountain-grown tannins and an expansive, full-bodied framework that balances seamless density with refined elegance from start to finish.
