Red Wine 2021 Limited Release

Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon · Oakville AVA

Tasting Notes

black currantcedardark chocolategraphitedried herb

Our flagship red, grown from a single block of 30-year-old vines on the estate's highest-elevation terrace. The 2021 vintage captured a season of perfect ripeness — warm days, cool nights, and a late-season rain that stretched the hang time to perfection. This is SOLERA's definitive statement.

Nose

Intense aromas of cassis and black plum lead into notes of cigar box, toasted oak, and a whisper of violet.

Palate

Full-bodied with plush, well-integrated tannins. Black cherry and dark berry fruits are framed by cedar and chocolate. The mid-palate is dense and layered.

Finish

Exceptionally long with lingering tannin structure and a mineral echo that speaks to the estate's volcanic soils.

Food Pairings

Ribeye steak
Braised short rib
Aged cheddar
Lamb chops

Cellar Notes

"Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is best enjoyed between 2024 and 2033. Decant for 45 minutes if drinking young. Serve at 60–65°F in a Bordeaux glass."
