Also the top Double Eagle ever for the Wine Enthusiast and Decanter. Melka says:

Profoundly complex and deftly structured wine, the Double Eagle by Grieve Family Napa Cabernet is an exquisitely age-worthy expression of the select vineyard blocks that are its provenance. It opens with vibrant bramble berry and forest floor notes with a hint of graphite. The expansive dark-berry palate offers mouth-filling richness framed by fine-grained tannins, with a lovely acidic tension that adds energy to the long, persistent finish. Enjoy upon release or cellar for up to 20 years.

Prepare to embark on a sensory journey like no other as we uncork our captivating masterpiece of the year - the 2021 Double Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, meticulously crafted by visionary winemakers Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky. On the palate, this exuberant, steadfast, and lustrous wine unveils ripe notes of boysenberry and plum that merge with black peppercorn and bittersweet chocolate. Patiently aged for 18 months in 65% new French oak barrels.

This brawny, generous and full-bodied wine fills the mouth with flavors of pencil shavings, espresso grounds and black plum. Palate-coating tannins carry into a long finish for a bold red wine ready to be a crowd pleaser.

This exquisite creation is a rare gem, a testament to the craftsmanship of Grieve Family Winery. With only 225 cases produced, each bottle is a treasure that embodies rarity and uniqueness.
