Ad Vivum Sleeping Lady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 750 ML

100 Points Decanter:“An elegant, polished, and seamless Cabernet Sauvignon from longtime Napa Valley winemaker Chris Phelps. It possesses an ethereal quality, an almost weightlessness, but contains multitudes. I tasted it on three separate occasions and one bottle over a three-day period. It was still vibrant and full of life on day three, and that is the mark of a classic.This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Sleeping Lady Vineyard in Yountville, a stone’s throw from Dominus.It shows a deep ruby to purple in the glass. It is beautifully fragrant with black cherry, wild herbs, and cedar wood spices nuanced by rose petal florals. Medium to full-bodied with gorgeous, silky fruit redolent of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, all laced with tobacco spices. The tannins are super fine-grained, and a firm spine of juicy acidity keeps everything lively and fresh. The finish is exceedingly long, with a wealth of concentrated fruit that lingers for a full minute.Simply the best vintage of Ad Vivum that Phelps has ever produced.”
