Winemaker Notes

Seriously Old Dirt 2021 displays a bright garnet-red color. This Cabernet Sauvignon lead blend initially greets with a vibrant expression of fruit. Unfolding with fresh plum, black raspberry, mulberry and ripe strawberry. These fruits are beautifully intertwined with subtle spicy notes of shaved nutmeg and dried sage. Palate entry is smooth, luxuriously coating with a silky texture from the fore-palate, broadening on the mid-palate and finishing with layered richness. A line of fresh acidity adds energy to this medium bodied wine. Soft, silky tannins are well integrated, allowing immediate enjoyment, while balanced structure will allow gracious cellaring.

Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Malbec, 2% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc

Professional Ratings

93 James Suckling

This has a perfumed nose of violets, mint chocolate, blackcurrants, paprika, cassis and ground coriander. Some salty black olives on the palate. Full-bodied, with polished, creamy and broad tannins. Lovely weight in the mid palate. 88% cabernet sauvignon, 8% merlot and 2% cabernet franc and 2% malbec.

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Made from mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with 8% Merlot and 2% each of Malbec and Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Seriously Old Dirt is ripe, herbal and spicy with notions of turned earth, dark cherry and spiced plum. Medium-bodied, the red blend has a savory and fresh palate, overdelivering at its price point and punching above its weight class

91 Wine Spectator
A suave red, with a sense of poise to the integration of ripe black currant, black cherry, Earl Grey tea leaf and dried mint flavors, backed by limber tannins and a subtle, minerally underpinning of smoke and loamy earth that echoes on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2031. 15,000 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.
