The 2021 Estate Ferguson Vineyard is slightly broader and more structured, with a darker core of currants, truffly earth, chocolate, and hints of iron. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 7% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot, it has beautiful mid-palate depth, a layered, full-bodied mouthfeel, building tannins, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve gracefully (and maybe warrant another point or two) for at least two decades.
