Domaine Eden Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon

Since purchasing this mountain-top wine estate in 2007, winemaker Jeffrey Patterson has worked tirelessly to elevate Domaine Eden to the dazzling heights of his neighbouring operation, Mount Eden. This Cabernet-led blend captures the pedigree of the powerful 2021 vintage, combining good structure and ageing potential with fleshy, generous fruit that makes it immediately appealing. 93/100 - The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up a textbook Cabernet bouquet of dark fruits, pipe tobacco, dried herbs and conifers. The palate is rich and velvety yet eminently classy, propped up by a sturdy backbone of refined tannins that carries the savory yet approachable finish. This is a beautiful iteration of one of California's greatest Cabernet value propositions. Drink 2025 - 2035 - Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate
