SYNTHESIS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2021, Napa Valley

Opened this on a Tuesday night just to try one glass and ended up finishing the bottle with dinner. That mint chocolate and hazelnut note on the nose is really something, and the finish stays fresh instead of turning heavy.

The creamy mouthfeel and velvety tannins make this a real pleasure to sip, with a subtle hazelnut note that adds depth. It’s plush but still has enough freshness to keep you coming back for another glass.

The cassis and mint chocolate notes really stood out once it had a few minutes to breathe. Velvety tannins, medium body, and that creamy finish make it dangerously easy to keep pouring.
