Black Magic comes from a meticulous selection of the best barrels from the vintage, and it is only produced when Tor and Jeff feel the magic in the air (or barrels). The 2021 is a masterpiece of a wine, composed of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a small portion of Cabernet Franc. It is a deep, dark, brooding wine, with incredible complexity and striking purity of fruit. The aromatics are simply mesmerizing, showcasing gorgeous ripe black currants, black cherries and hints of blueberries that are followed by sweet spices, dark chocolate, graphite, fresh cut violets, gravel, and a hint of tobacco that all emerge from the glass. The palate is just as impressive, boasting a luxurious full body that is rich, layered, and opulent, yet despite its towering stature, it retains a remarkable sense of freshness and poise. It is impeccably structured, with beautifully polished tannins that frame its ripe, concentrated core, which results in a decadent mouthfeel leading up to the seamless finish. While the 2021 Black Magic is nothing short of sensational now, it also has the potential to thrive for decades to come. Black Magic has earned the reputation as one of Napa Valley most iconic wines with multiple perfect scores throughout the years, and there is no exception in this vintage.
