Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Cabernet 2021 Rated 94WE

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 94
Potent, earthy aromas like dried black figs, black truffles and oak char lead to a firm, tannic palate packed with black fruits, dark chocolate, graphite and cedar notes. The wine is intensely concentrated, showing good potential for aging. Best from 2026-2036.

Wine Tasting Notes
Gundlach Bundschu Sonoma Cabernet displays a deep purple hue, accompanied by fragrant notes of violet, anise, and a blend of red and black currants. Upon tasting, one will experience a velvety and rich texture, with flavors of dark berries, cassis, hints of shaved chocolate, and undertones of espresso beans. The presence of substantial yet refined tannins adds depth and a rounded mouthfeel. As the wine lingers on the palate, a smooth and lengthy finish emerges, complemented by delicate nuances of red fruits. This wine is delightful upon release, but for those seeking an optimal experience, it can be cellared for four to 15 years from the vintage.
