Keenan Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021
94 Points, James Suckling – 92 Points, Vinous
High above the fog line between 1,700-1,900 feet elevation, Spring Mountain experiences the coldest and wettest weather in Napa Valley. The grapes struggle with rocky, infertile hillsides that create just enough stress to produce compelling reds. In great vintages like 2021, the Cabernet fruit comes alive.
James Suckling gave it 94 points, dubbing it “A bold, complex and savory wine that’s generous in aromas, full in body and wrapped in big, rounded tannins.” Antonio Galloni noted how “all the elements are so well-balanced,” calling it a “juicy Cabernet with tons of appeal.”
Original price was: $76.00.$49.99Current price is: $49.99.

MORE INFO
94 Points, James Suckling
A bold, complex and savory wine that’s generous in aromas, full in body and wrapped in big, rounded tannins. Love the earth, leather, cigar box and black cherry aromas that lead to mouth-filling, deeply fruity berry and cherry flavors and trailing oak spices. It offers personality, poise and a touch of the wild. Drink now or hold.
92 Points, Vinous
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fine choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so. A burst of dark fruit, spice, licorice, leather and mocha races across the palate, giving this mid-weight, juicy Cabernet tons of appeal. All the elements are so well-balanced.
If you’re unfamiliar, these guys are one of the most consistent wineries in the valley. Back in 1977, Robert Keenan was just an insurance guy turned winemaker overnight, with the dream of striking it big on the slopes of Spring Mountain while almost everyone else was setting up shop down in the valley. But it turns out the rookie had serious plans.
He would eventually convince the legendary Nils Venge – affectionately known as the “King of Cabernet”, the man who is best known for making history by making the first-ever 100-point American wine (the 1985 Groth Reserve Cabernet) – to join the team. From there, the sky has been the limit.
High above the fog line between 1,700-1,900 feet elevation, Spring Mountain experiences the coldest and wettest weather in Napa Valley. The grapes struggle with rocky, infertile hillsides that create just enough stress to produce compelling reds.
