Winemaker Notes

The 2021 Amaryllis Cabernet Sauvignon is 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Merlot. Showing a densely packed ruby red color, this wine shows black cherry and plum fruits, enveloped in hints of vanilla and spice. Medium bodied, the mountain fruit still shows a layer of tannin that sits at the base of the juicy Dark cherry and black raspberry flavors. This wine will develop an extended finish with 3 to 5 years of bottle aging.

Harvest Notes

The 2021 growing season started early with bud break occurring about a week earlier than average. With a shortage of winter rains, we experienced another drought year, with rain totals about 60 percent of normal. Luckily, we didn’t see much in the way of heat spikes, so the fruit ripened at a consistent pace. The fruit was harvested at night on September 18th.
