Cornell 'Courtship' Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750 ML
Winemaker Notes
In the 2021 Courtship we find a beautiful mingling of vibrant red fruit with the earth driven profile of a classic mountain wine. Courtship's inviting aromas include rhubarb, tarragon, red currants, and wild blackberry bramble. A sense of umami and minerality at entry sets the stage for primary, unabashed fruit on the palate, like black cherries at peak season. The powdery, pleasant tannins that follow are reminiscent of red plums and their skins. Juiciness is balanced by lithe, lingering structure.
Blend: 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot
94 Antonio Galloni
The 2021 Courtship is a very serious second wine that is going to need time to soften. Dollops of Merlot and Malbec add succulence, but mountain tannins are never too far away. Chalk, white pepper, gravel and dried rose petal weave through a core of red-toned fruit in this rich, heady wine from Cornell. The 2021 is a huge overachiever in its peer group.
