The outstanding 2021 Chosen Family ‘Salty Goats’ Cabernet Sauvignon comes from Diogenes Ridge Vineyard high atop Howell Mountain. Inky in the glass, this delivers cassis, anise, creme de violette and plenty of graphite character on the palate. This has gobs of minerality, staying light on its feet despite the jaw-dropping power. A total joy to savor in its full-throttle youth, enjoy this sultry and seductive Napa Cabernet now and over the next fifteen plus years to come. Be sure to decant for at least an hour if enjoying now.
