PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Titus Vineyards was established in 1968 by Lee Titus, a cardiologist, and his wife, Ruth. They each took different paths toward wine appreciation but converged upon their shared love of the Napa Valley and the classic varietals of Bordeaux. Their dream to grow grapes was launched with the acquisition of 50 acres of prime land just north of St. Helena, followed by the purchase of an additional 10 acres nearby. They planted their land to the classic Bordeaux varietals and sold their fruit to Charles Krug, Beaulieu Vineyards, Cuvaison, Quail Ridge, and Pine Ridge, to name a few.

Busy with farming their land and raising their family, they were not able to realize their dream of building a winery and making their own wines. It wasn't until 1990, after sons Eric and Phillip took over operations, that the first vintage of Titus wines was produced. Eric and Phillip, while the first family members to craft wine, owe much of their success to their parents, who instilled in them a reverence for the land. To that end, they farm sustainably, eschewing the use of pesticides, and take a non-interventionist approach to their craft. Their philosophy has brought forth wines that are stunning expressions of varietal and terroir.

Today's estate-grown cabernet is blended with small amounts of malbec, merlot, and petit verdot aged for 12 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and Hungarian oak barrels. It leaps from the glass with notes of candied cherry, crushed raspberries, allspice, and a fresh bay note that lends the wine lift. The palate is pure and open with beautiful acidity and fine-grained tannins. Chocolate-covered blueberries and polished red fruit characters lead to a lingering finish filled with crème brulée and roasted coffee beans.*

93 points, Jeb Dunnuck:
"The appellation 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as 80% cabernet sauvignon, and smaller portions of malbec, merlot, and petit verdot. It's another fabulous wine from this estate, offering pure creme de cassis, classy oak, new leather, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. With medium to full-bodied richness, plush, integrated tannins, and the vintage's fresher, focused style, it tastes like it costs three times the price. Drink bottles over the coming decades. Bravo."

93 points, James Suckling:
"Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dried raspberries, spices, cedar and bark. Full-bodied with a mellow, fruit-forward character and creamy texture to the tannins. Delicious and smooth with a velvety finish." (7/27/24)
