Gundlach Bundschu Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Review
Gundlach Bundschu is one of the most important wineries in the history of Sonoma. Founded in 1858 by Jacob Gundlach and later joined by Charles Bundschu, it’s the second oldest winery in Sonoma County and it’s still family run. (They also have a sick music festival.) This wine shows that the legacy holds after all these years. The nose is meaty with flecks of pepper and earth. The palate has a very present tannic edge and great natural acidity as the fleshy fruit rises to match the leanness.
