Goldschmidt Vineyard Katherine Stonemason Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Goldschmidt Vineyards Stonemason Hill Katherine Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 is a sophisticated, single-vineyard red that exemplifies the elegance of the Alexander Valley. Named after one of Nick Goldschmidt’s daughters, the "Katherine" bottling is sourced from the Stonemason Hill vineyard, a site characterized by its rocky, well-draining soils and unique microclimate. This 2021 vintage is particularly noted for its depth and structural balance, a result of a growing season that produced smaller, highly concentrated berries.
On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of ripe black cherry, raspberry, and red currant, accented by delicate notes of violet, sage, and toasted oak. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and remarkably smooth, showcasing a polished texture with layers of succulent dark fruit and fine-grained tannins. Unlike the heavier Napa style, this Alexander Valley expression maintains a vibrant acidity that leads to a long, graceful finish with a touch of cocoa and cedar.
