Purlieu - Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 (750ml) Arbane The wine's core of tanninsfinely constructed, robust, and earth driven, with aromas of currants, blackberries, graphite, violets, and spices. On the palate, it is full bodied, textural, and rounded, with firmly framed tannins, offering a balance of ripe fruit and freshness Other tasting notes highlight cedary oak, nutmeg, boysenberry, and gravelly earth, with a chewy core and firm finish The wine is approachable now but is expected to reach its peak around 2028
