A terrific value that would probably run you three times the price if it was from Napa, the 2021 Metier Cabernet Sauvignon has textbook leafy herbs, tobacco, and darker currant fruits in a medium-bodied, elegant, balanced package. It has classic Cabernet herbal, floral, and spicy notes and is well worth drinking any time over the coming decade or so.

Offers good energy and refined flavors of blackberry, dusky spices, and black olive that build structure toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2031.
