Cobden Wini Old Federal Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Review

Mark Davis left Maryland to pursue a dream of winemaking. He studied in California and went off around the world learning with a hands-on approach. When it was time to make his own wine, he wanted to give tribute to his parents who supported him the entire way. His dad is a Cab fan so Davis made one and put a drawing of his father on the label. We absolutely loved the 2020 vintage of this wine and the 2021 does not disappoint. Deep red fruit with subtle pepper aromas wisping about on the nose. The palate is rich with great acidity to balance it out. The tannins are still working through the wine and you can just tell it's going to age well.
