2021 Purlieu - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 'Le Pich' (750ml)

Le Pich is the sister label of Purlieu Wines, crafted by renowned winemaker Julien Fayard, whose experience spans Château Lafite-Rothschild and Smith Haut Lafitte before bringing his expertise to Napa Valley in 2006. The name Le Pich—drawn from the Wappo word for “golden eagle”—captures the graceful strength this label aims to express in every bottling. The 2021 Le Pich Cabernet Sauvignon delivers brilliant fruit and graceful aromatics wrapped in a seamless, satiny package, a wine designed to showcase Napa’s diverse terroirs with power and elegance.

The 2021 Le Pich Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a nuanced nose of black cherry, pencil lead, and stone. On the palate, it expands into a lustrous core of ripe boysenberry and blackberry, with fresh minerality providing lift beneath. A bright surge of black plum and wild blueberry broadens the profile, unfolding mocha, dried thyme, and a hint of leather for complexity and lingering finish.

This is a polished, food-friendly Cabernet with the structure to develop over the next several years. It pairs beautifully with grilled steak or other hearty red meat dishes, offering depth and balance that evolve with age while standing up to bold accompaniments.
