2021 Cabernet Sauvignon - Thirty Eight Vineyard

LangeTwins 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon - Thirty Eight Vineyard

Jahant AVA

The 2021 growing season in the Jahant AVA of Lodi brought a welcome return to more balanced conditions, with a warm, steady summer allowing for even ripening and excellent fruit concentration. Our latest vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon reflects this harmony, offering a beautifully structured and expressive wine. Alluring aromas of ripe plum, star anise, and mission fig lead into a palate accented by savory dried herbs and subtle oak. Fine-grained tannins build gracefully, creating a smooth, lingering finish that showcases the depth and elegance of our Thirty Eight Vineyard.

The 2021 vintage brought us the earliest start of harvest we’ve experienced, with our crews starting on July 26th. After our white and early red varietals were brought into the winery, many of our red varietals were predicted to reach maturity at the same time. The compaction of the second half of the harvest season became both a challenge and priority for us. As Fall approached, the smaller fruit set, paired with consistently higher temperatures caused many red varietals to mature rapidly. Varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Petite Sirah came off three weeks sooner than average, with slightly higher brix than targeted, although with good acidity. With all said and done, the vintage came in smaller than expected, though with outstanding quality that we are thrilled to present.
