My favorite of Amici's recent wines is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard. While it aged In100% new French oak—and it does offer scents of mocha, cedar and creosote—it's also richly fruited, with layers of deep plum and black cherry. Full-bodied, rich and expansive, it's nicely ripe and supple without being over the top, and it boasts a long, licorice-tinged finish.

Lots of ripe fruit but not overdone with meat, blackberries and boysenberries. Full-bodied with plush, velvety tannins and a light toffee undertone. Lovely ripeness and opulence but framed and gorgeous. Drink in four or five years.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard is texturally gorgeous. In fact, the 2021 is the most refined and harmonious Amici wine I have tasted off this site. Hints of rose petal, lavender and spice are beautifully delineated, but it is the wine's silkiness and creaminess in texture that impress most today. This pliant, expressive Rutherford Cabernet is a winner.

Another sensational wine in the lineup is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard, which comes from a great site in Rutherford. All Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in new barrels, it has a regal, full-bodied, structured yet lively style that brings beautiful cassis and assorted darker cherry-like fruits, building tannins, a gravelly earth-like sense of minerality, and the vintage's pure, focused, incredibly impressive style. I love everything about this beauty, and while it offers pleasure today, it warrants 4-6 years in the cellar. It will drink well for at least two decades.
