. The wine displays a completely opaque dark purple hue in the glass. Densely layered aromatic notes suggest plum reduction, quince, oolong tea, and cedar bark. The palate experience has an interwoven dark fruit core with lively peripheral notes that lean more towards brambly red fruit. Notes of blackberry paste, leather and cocoa nib dominate the mid palate while the lengthy finish expresses brighter notes of raspberry, dark cherry and blueberries. The sleek mouthfeel is framed by finely integrated tannins and a balanced acidity, allowing for immediate enjoyment or a little nap in the cellar

One of the greatest bargains in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Caterwaul's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley draws largely on co-proprietor Matt Hardin's Pope Valley vineyards, but it bolsters those barrels with other bits and pieces from winemaker (and co-proprietor) Thomas Rivers Brown's other projects. Boasting gently herbal notes of sage and bay leaf that perfectly complement the ripe black cherries, it's full-bodied, rich, concentrated, velvety and long. No, it's not overly complex, but it is a solid entry-level Cab at a price most producers can't touch. And there are almost 7,000 cases of the stuff, so you may actually be able to find the stuff at retail.
