The selection we make for our bottling of The Estate is meant to capture the very
best expression of Ellman Family Vineyards in a given vintage. The Estate bottling
represents “the cream of the crop,” a small offering of wine that evokes a feeling of
satisfaction from all that goes on throughout the year to affect the wine. The
growing season began with a dry winter; early rains reduced crop yields. Harvest
began on September 23rd, 2021..
TASTING NOTES
The wine is a reflection of a warm Napa Valley summer. The fruit is dark and rich, the
tannins are bold but rounded, and the wine itself has a depth and density that we
look for on our estate vineyard. Our vineyard delivered fruit with the normal purity
and intensity that translates into classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Cassis,
blueberry, and raspberry tones are the highlight, along with notes of dark chocolate,
mocha, licorice, and vanilla bean. The 2020 vintage of The Estate is a wine for aging.
After 19 months in barrel, and nearly a year in bottle, it is still dense and powerful, but
at the same time balanced and nuanced.
