This is a must-try Cabernet if you haven’t yet had it and worth way more than its price. Before the Detert family purchased the land that is now their namesake vineyard, it was Martin Stelling who purchased the majority of the To Kalon Vineyard in 1943 and planted what is thought to be the first Cabernet Franc in Napa Valley on the future Detert Vineyard in 1949. He also planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Johannisberg Riesling and Chenin Blanc on the property. Seven acres at Detert is divided into the East and West Block for Cabernet Franc. In the East block, there are 7 acres within the historic To Kalon Vineyard of old-vine Cabernet Franc whose lineage stretches back to the early history of grape growing in Napa Valley. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a showstopper. “Powerful, but elegant. Refined, concentrated, and layered with tiers of black cherry, dark chocolate, camphor, mineral, and sage flavors. Very long, complex, and seamless in the mouth. A very special vintage of the Detert Cabernet Sauvignon.” The final blend was Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Cabernet Franc. 300 cases produced.
