The 2021 is the the first vintage Tor has produced a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Vaca Ridge Vineyard. Vaca Ridge is a new, highly anticipated vineyard, that sits on stone ridges and overlooks Napa Valley and Lake Hennessey. The wine itself is fantastic, as it exudes sheer class and finesse from the very first sip. It begins with gorgeous aromatics of ripe cherries, cassis and hints of blueberries that are accented by graphite, licorice, flowers, with hints of sage and crushed mint. This full-bodied Cabernet unfolds beautifully on the palate with a symphony of concentrated flavors. The tannins are structured and impeccably integrated, providing a wonderful velvety texture that lingers, while ta beautiful touch of underlying acidity keeps it well-balanced and provides a sense of freshness and lift through the finish. The 2021 Vaca Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is fantastic, and a testament to the winemaking craftsmanship at Tor, as well as the potential of this new vineyard site.
