Othello, Napa Valley, 2021
Such a lovely nose, present and well defined with black fruits and a lick of fresh cream, then sweet menthol and pipe tobacco. The palate is rich sleek and suave, with velvety tannins, creamy concentration and notes of summer pudding, cherry pie, blackcurrant and mocha. Dive right in and enjoy over the coming decade.
critic reviews
The 2021 Othello, is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it skips out of the glass with bright, cheery notes of fresh blackberries, juicy black plums, and redcurrant jelly followed by hints of graphite, black olives, menthol, and lavender. The medium to full-bodied palate is light on its feet and lively, with soft silt-like tannins and bright crunchy red and black fruit flavors, finishing with a minty lift. 1,000 cases were made.
