“Perfection in the bottle is the 2021 Red Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon from Weathereye Vineyards. Blended with 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc and resting in approximately 75% new French oak, this plush, layered and full-bodied effort sets the pace. Todd Alexander shows his craftsmanship from start to finish with this scintillating wine that gifts a dark, brooding purple and blue core with a lighter purple garnet rim in the glass. A wine that needs time in the glass to really shine, it started off with notes of crushed blackberries, cassis, cedary herbs, pencil shavings, scraped vanilla bean, ground peppercorn, and sweet spice. Aggressive tannins need some time to soften, but even now, it’s drinking beautifully with the mouthwatering acidity and layered texture that hits the palate and doesn’t let go. Bravo! Highly recommended and editor’s choice.” - International Wine Review

“A wine that’s going to flirt with perfection at maturity, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers an incredible, full-bodied, voluptuous, layered style delivering tons of cassis and assorted darker fruits, nicely integrated oak, building tannins, and subtle nuances of chalky minerality, graphite, and leafy herbs. A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc aging in 75% new French oak, this is certainly the finest wine I’ve tasted from this estate (albeit, it’s a barrel sample.) 145 cases.” - Jeb Dunnuck

“The stunning new 2021 WeatherEye Cabernet Sauvignon combines 5% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Stored in 75% new French oak barrels, this offers amazing texture, weight and underlying finesse. Deep and concentrated, with very concentrated black and blue fruit flavors, sweet pipe tobacco, with pencil lead and garrigue notes, this is going to be a really long-aging wine that is best enjoyed a year from now and over the next twenty years. Drink 2025-2050.” - Owen Bargreen, former Vinous Media Editor
