Slingshot, North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

The Slingshot Cabernet starts with premium fruit sourced from the Napa Valley and other regions around the North Coast of California. In fact, a significant portion of the fruit is sourced from the Stewart's estate Juliana Vineyards, where the vines are tended in a sustainable, regenerative fashion. Other vineyard sources include the Testa Vineyard and Johnson Vineyard, family sites renowned for their responsible farming techniques and exceptional fruit. 

A brilliant example of the power and finesse that typify California Cabernet, the Slingshot Cabernet avoids the domineering fruit and overpowering oaky-ness of many budget Cabernets. Blended with 8% Petit Verdot and 2% Petite Sirah, the wine ages for 22-months in French oak, around one-third of which is first use. Full flavoured with bright acidity, this wine is marked by an evident sense of place and unforgettable refreshment. At Slingshot, nothing is more important than quality. After all, it’s what’s in the bottle that counts.
