The 2021 Martin Stelling Cabernet opens with a black cherry and cassis perfume that is instantly compelling. A crescendo of black cherry, blackberry, dried herb, and baking spice build on the palate, while velvety tannins provide structure and lively acidity lifts and balances the intense fruit and spice flavors. Brooding, elegant, and polished, this bottling showcases the very best of Western Oakville, and only promises to grow more nuanced with time.
A serious wine that shows graphite and pencil shavings with aromas of fresh eucalyptus and sage with black and blue fruits, vanilla beans and sweet baking spices. A beautifully structured full-bodied wine with firm yet finely grained tannins and soft acidity. Fascinating complexity with so many layers. Nice drinkability but give it more time to come around. Better after 2027.
