Covert Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750ml

Covert Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a powerful and refined Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Coombsville AVA, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Julien Fayard. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon captures the cool-climate character and volcanic terroir of Coombsville while delivering the richness and concentration expected from a premium Napa Cabernet.

The wine opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, cassis, cedar, mocha, and dried plum. The palate is densely layered with sun-ripened blackberry, black raspberry, blueberry, espresso, milk chocolate, and dried bay leaf, accented by fragrant clove, golden caramel, and subtle mineral notes. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and balance, leading to a long, polished finish of blackberry pastry, dried thyme, and fresh boysenberry.

The grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted before cold maceration and fermentation with naturally occurring wild yeasts. The wine is aged for approximately 18–26 months in barrel, primarily in new French oak, and bottled without fining or filtration.
