2021 Mastery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Mastery’s 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking expression of one of Napa’s most celebrated vintages. Crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this release captures the essence of a vintage renowned for its “fresh, vibrant, and powerfully fruited wines showing precision, floral lift and a sense of place,” as praised by Wine Spectator.

Winemaker Rudy Zuidema’s cumulative knowledge over the past 30 years is commanding in this bold Cabernet Sauvignon, which beautifully articulates the terroir of Rapp Ranch and Shadybrook Estate Vineyards in Coombsville. His intimate understanding of Coombsville terroir is on full display, crafting a wine that harmonizes power with nuance, allowing the land’s identity to come alive in the glass.

Forged from Coombsville’s volcanic soils, the 2021 Mastery Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates its origins, offering concentrated flavors and refined complexity. With only two barrels produced, this limited release reflects the pinnacle of varietal purity and balance. At $95, Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t get any better!

“The Mastery 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with alluring aromas of freshly baked Marionberry pie, blueberries, black plums espresso with frothy milk, and crushed volcanic rock. The wine expands on the palate, adding to the aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, baking spices, and warm gingerbread on a Christmas morning while sitting in front of the crackling fireplace. This wine is powerful and has a strong backbone of structural tannins and acidity that will provide years of longevity.”

2017 Rapp Ranch Chardonnay Napa Valley

 

Some of the most memorable Chardonnays offer a brilliant play between tension and elegance. Rapp Ranch’s 2017 Napa Chardonnay is a stunning example and arose from two different sites that work beautifully together, and harmoniously accentuate the best qualities from one another. This liquid gold was also made by Rudy Zuidema, whom you might recognize as the winemaker for Mastery.

 
The 2017 vintage intertwines fruit from the Truchard Vineyard, which lies just up the hill from Lee Hudson’s Vineyard, as well as the Poseidon Vineyard, which sits directly on the Napa Valley Marina. The Truchard block sits between Far Niente and Nickel and Nickle’s rows and contributes the incredibly opulent and expressive fruit. 
 
The Poseidon Vineyard is planted in clay soils and contributes an electric acidity that lifts the richer fruit from Truchard. It’s the power and muscle behind the pure and delicious Truchard fruit. This beauty is simply one of my favorite Napa Chardonnays that I’ve tasted this year. With 232 cases made, don’t wait to stake your claim.

“The Rapp Ranch Chardonnay is a beautiful expression of grace and elegance from the Los Carneros region of Napa Valley. Golden straw in color, the aromas of Asian pear, oats and French vanilla ice cream remind you of an inviting warm cobbler. The rich and round mouthfeel coats your palate with flavors of candied citrus, macadamia nuts, and cinnamon. A beautiful balance of weight and acid, this wine is sure to disappear quickly!”
