2021 Black Market “Unsanctioned Series” Cabernet Sauvignon | 91pts 🔥 Exclusive Release!

BC, VQA Okanagan Valley
100% Cab Sauv | Dry (1.6g/L RS) | 13.3% ABV
91pts Carl's Wine Club 

Only three barrels were made of this Cabernet Sauvignon! It displays a rich, plush, juicy and modern profile from a vintage where heat units were plentiful. Grape source is from a trusted grower on the “Golden Mile” in Oliver, in the South Okanagan. This wine spent 24 months in French oak barrels including 40% new barrels. On the nose, aromas of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate, pencil lead and fresh sage screams classic Pacific North West Cabernet. The palate is luscious and bold in texture, with medium acidity and soft and smooth tannins (already!). The flavours are black fruit dominant. For instance, black cherry and black berry, with a robust mid-palate of expresso coffee. The finish highlights a very noticeable saline component, mingled with clove and freshly cracked black pepper.
