Current Price:

Gorgeous Napa Cab.  Inky purple in color, opaque and shimmering bright.  The nose is deep and concentrated with cassis, graphite, cedar, spice and slight tobacco.  Full bodied.  Great balance.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, this is delicious with a great texture.  Concentrated.  Flavors of cassis, earthiness and spice.  Long finish.  This is very young but quite accessible.  It should drink well for twenty years.  Nice on its own, this would work well with bigger foods that can stand up to the tannins.  Of course, a steak, but also Roasted Root Vegetables.  

2021 Becklyn Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, USA, California, Napa, Wine Review

Vintage:

Score:

Grade: 
A

Becklyn wines are consistently excellent.  This is their basic cabernet.  Purple  in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is great with cassis, slight cedar, dust and saddle leather.  Full bodied.  Firm tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is deep and delicious.  Flavors of cassis with some earthiness and char.  Long finish.  Drinking well already, it will probably still improve a bit.  Great on its own, this will work well with a grilled Ribeye but also a Pizza.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
