Description
100/100 The Wine Independent
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2021 Wraith is a touch subdued to start, needing a bit of patient swirling to bring out the complex perfume of iris, dark chocolate, anise, and cassis, opening out to a profound core of juicy plums and a myriad of earthy/loamy scents. The full-bodied palate is built like a skyscraper with a solid structure of firm, fine-grained tannins and with a refreshing backbone lifting the intricate perfume to an epically long finish. A wine that is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is cerebral. (LPB)
99/100 Jeb Dunnuck
Red, blue, and black fruit, graphite, darker chocolate, sappy tobacco, and spring flowers all define the aromatics of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith, which comes from a blend of multiple vineyards. It’s deep, rich, and powerful, yet also weightless on the palate, with silky tannins and a blockbuster of a finish. The idea with Wraith is to highlight the vintage as opposed to a site, and this beauty can be enjoyed any time over the coming 20-30 years. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue date: January 2025. Drinking window: 2025 – 2055.
