Lost Isle Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Flavor Profile
Winemaker William “Bill” Knuttel (below) earned recognition and respect while working for two iconic California wineries: Saintsbury in the Napa Valley and Chalk Hill in Sonoma. Nowadays, he crafts his own (equally delicious) wines, and you’re in for a real treat with his new Lost Isle Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 which has impressed judges at top competitions. It received 92 points from the New York International Wine Competition and a coveted gold medal from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
Bill crafted it with grapes grown at Wilson Vineyards, with which he’s worked closely for over two decades. He chose Cabernet Sauvignon from his favorite old vines, which produce grapes with exceptionally concentrated flavors. The fog and cool breezes that roll in from the San Francisco Bay helped to moderate the particularly temperate 2021 vintage, leading to an ideal balance of ripeness and freshness.
Lost Isle was aged for 14 months in fine French oak barrels and bottled delicately, without the need for fining. In the glass, look forward to expressive aromas of ripe plum and black cherry, melded with hints of baking spices. The dark fruit flavors are accented beautifully on the palate, with velvety tannins and an appetizing freshness that makes this Cabernet endlessly versatile for pairing with your favorite grilled meats, vegetables, and cheeses.
