Napanook 2021
HK$ 1,202.06
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Certainly the best Napanook bottling I can recall, the 2021 Napanook is a 3,000-case blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Boasting harmonious aromas of raspberries, red and black cherries, cinnamon, clove and dusty earth notes, this full-bodied wine tips the scales at a declared 15% alcohol, yet it shows no detectable heat. It is full-bodied, intense, rich and velvety, with hints of black tea on the long finish. Matured in 20% new French oak, it stands out for its lush mouthfeel and savory complexity.

Description
Napanook wine comes from the historic Napanook winery in Yountville, Napa Valley. This vineyard is renowned for its rich history and tradition of producing high quality wines. Napanook is made exclusively from grapes grown in this vineyard and blended from vineyard blocks carefully selected for their lively fruit, soft tannins and early ripening characteristics.
In terms of grape varieties, Napanook is composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. These grapes grow on gravelly and clay soils. The vineyard follows certified organic farming practices (CCOF) and does not use irrigation, allowing the vines to draw deeply from the unique geology of the land. In addition, French ploughing is practised and vine growth management is adapted to the climatic conditions.
Winemaking
During the harvest, a manual and optical selection of the grapes is carried out to guarantee the best quality. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (20% new).
Taste
Napanook is a wine created to be consumed young and enjoyed with food, but it also has the potential to age well for more than a decade. On the nose it displays a rich aromatic palette that includes notes of raspberries, redcurrant jelly and violets, complemented by hints of black cherry. It is a wine that stands out for its dry and elegant profile. Its flavour is balanced, without the need for over-ripeness, being powerful and with a velvety texture. The finish is lingering, leaving a lasting impression and confirming its origin in the renowned Napa Valley.
