The 2021 Courtship Cabernet from Cornell is instantly appealing with a quick decant, offering vibrant red fruit layered over classic mountain earthiness. Crafted by Françoise Peschon and Elizabeth Tangney from Cornell’s diverse Mayacamas estate, it shows aromas of rhubarb, red currant, and wild blackberry, with juicy black cherry on the palate framed by fine, powdery tannins. Approachable now yet true to its pedigree, it’s a refined and energetic expression of this remarkable site.
