Don Melchor 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Wine Spectator's Top Wine of 2024!

A remarkable effort that channels the finesse of the vintage with rich, muscular edges, offering a base of graphite and cassis notes that gather around elegant layers of dried rosemary and white pepper. The richly textured core of raspberry and plum flavors show precision and just enough acidity to keep things sailing onto the finish around well-integrated tannins and touches of cocoa. Best from 2026 through 2040.

Score: 96 points -- Aaron Romano, Wine Spectator, 2024
