International Wine Report - 96 points - The stunning 2021 Estate Vineyard Clone 412 Cabernet from Fidelitas was aged in 75% new French oak for 28 months and pours a medium-dark ruby garnet core with a fluorescent purple rim. Layered and interesting from start to finish, it pops with notes of dried purple flowers, macerated blackberries, cassis, damp earth, and toasted cedary herbs.  Aggressive tannins need another year or 2 to soften but it’s balanced with the superb acidity and a long black-fruit finish. 196 cases were made. Highly recommended.
