The current release of this cuvée, the 2021 Volpolo was bottled in December of 2022 after 14 months in a mix of barrique and tonneaux. The blend is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. Pouring a deep purple/red hue, it opens to aromas of Mediterranean herbs, blackberry, and mint. Full-bodied on the palate, it’s lush with ripe, plush, textured tannins that provide a silky mouthfeel, and it has a clean finish. Offering a nice balance of fruit and savory richness, with notes of turned earth on the finish, this generous but well-balanced wine is drinking well now or and will drink well the next 8-10 years. Drink 2024-2034.
