2021 Caterwaul Regusci Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon | Stags Leap District Napa Valley California 750ml



Stag's Leap District has always had a stellar reputation for producing some of the best wines in Napa Valley. Stags Leap District is a world-class site that can transcend many vintage related markers. Every year we have adjusted our small block within the Regusci Ranch adding and subtracting rows, partial rows, even individual plants to get the most consistent crop possible.
2021 - Acid driven sites like Regusci Vineyard benefitted the most from the structure first 2021 vintage. There's a completeness to this wine at release that separates it from all the vintages that came before it. That can also be attributed to our better understanding of what makes this site so special. Every year we have refined the selection within block 3 by focusing more on a vine by vine approach. We mitigated drought conditions at Regusci with a combination of vine maturity and moving around in the block a little to search for vine balance. Everyone likes to chase the best drained, most challenging soils but in a growing season like 2021, the more traditionally vigorous sections of the vineyard tended to be better. Soils with better water holding capacity were necessary for full canopy development and optimum ripening conditions. The 2021 Regusci continues the more savory expression we see from this site every year. It always leads with a sanguine edge and turns quickly to bay leaf, black olive and crushed stones. The floral quality here is more violet tinged complementing a palate of dark chocolate, blue and black fruits, incense and spice. Acidity helps frame and prolong the finish cutting into all the structure and density 2021 provided. | Caterwaul

Red and black fruits, wildflowers, black olives, and hints of iron all define the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Regusci Vineyard, a full-bodied, deep, opulent, incredibly impressive barrel sample. It picks up an almost bloody character with time in the glass, has just about perfect balance, and delivers a huge finish.
