"Floral, black licorice and black cherry aromas lead to just-ripe, focused black cherries and blueberries. Aged in 25% to 30% new French demi-muids, the wine is both rich and balanced, mouth-filling yet structured, with moderate tannins and fresh acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Best from 2028."

"The 2021 The Widowmaker en Chamberlin Vineyard, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, boasts a sturdy nose that is fresh, complex, and juicy, featuring ripe and round aromas. The nose wafts with layers of dusty flowers and notes of plum skin as dark cherries sway out of the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate exhibits impressive staying power with a ripe attack, showcasing balanced, succulent acidity with fine-grained tannins. The wine concludes with a long, lingering, spicy finish that beckons me to pour another glass. For optimal enjoyment, decant for one hour, then enjoy with food."
