2021 Tether Cabernet

2021 Tether Cabernet

2021 Tether Cabernet The 2021 Tether Cabernet Sauvignon is an extraordinary example of this iconic varietal, hailing from a fantastic vintage in the Napa Valley. This wine leaps from the glass with intense aromas of black currant, blackberry and ripe black cherry. Complex layers of the wine’s bouquet continue to evolve in the glass, showcasing hints of crushed volcanic rock, mocha, subtle spice and slow toasted French oak. This compelling wine possesses a gorgeous mid-palate, fantastic structure, elegant refined tannins and an engaging finish.

This wine is a must, a new project and totally under-valued for what’s in the bottle. The wine is the 2021 Tether Cabernet. This is a new project put together by Kimberly Jones. Kimberly is the Wine Broker for Cult Napa Cabs. Realm, Scarecrow, Kongsgaard, Maybach, Ovid. What do these three- and four-digit luxury names have in common? They’re all represented by Kimberly Jones and many, many more. As a trusted client to many elite superstar labels, Kimberly has gained access to some of the best sites and brightest talents in California. And it’s not by accident either: The birth of her private label, Tether, was only possible through years of building blue-chip connections and the high-dollar fruit she sources for today’s wine is a direct result of these relationships.

Robert Parker commented on Jones: “As an admirer of the diversity and quality of California’s wines, and with nearly 37 years of experience tasting and visiting the state’s viticultural regions, wine-broker Kimberly Jones has consistently demonstrated an incredible talent for representing many of the best producers. With her skilled palate, a limitless enthusiasm, and insatiable curiosity, she has assembled a portfolio of wines that is breath-taking in its diversity, value, and exquisite quality.”

This wine has been sourced from top secret vineyards and crafted into a spectacular Napa Cab. In a region where real estate is cosmically high and price-to-quality examples are few and far between, this wine delivers rare pedigree – we can’t reveal the details, but trust us when we say this wine should demand a much higher price tag.
