Winemaker Notes
This wine displays varietal Cabernet Sauvignon characters; rich and generously loaded with blackberry and mulberry fruits, well supported by oak and spice and fine long tannins.
This delicious, dense, and fruit packed wine will complement a wide variety of meal choices, especially red meat, pasta, and slow braised dishes.

James Suckling
Lots of primary fruit with crushed black currants and hints of green leaves and chocolate. Full-bodied, medium tannins and a fresh finish. Some bell pepper. Better in a few years. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Thomas Goss is poised and well balanced on the palate with just enough tannins to satisfy it. This wine brings suggestions of licorice, fragrant spices, and hints of oaky notes front and center. Enjoy it with grilled beef dishes. (Tasted: July 17, 2024, San Francisco, CA)
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most “classic” style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône Blends, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style.
Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
