Lots of ripe fruit but not overdone with meat, blackberries and boysenberries. Full-bodied with plush, velvety tannins and a light toffee undertone. Lovely ripeness and opulence but framed and gorgeous. Drink in four or...

Another sensational wine in the lineup is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard, which comes from a great site in Rutherford. All Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in new barrels, it has a regal, full-bodied...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2023

My favorite of Amici's recent wines is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard. While it aged In100% new French oak—and it does offer scents of mocha, cedar and creosote—it's also richly fruited, with layers of deep...

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli Vineyard is texturally gorgeous. In fact, the 2021 is the most refined and harmonious Amici wine I have tasted off this site. Hints of rose petal, lavender and spice are beautifully...

The 2021 Amici Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a notable wine from the North Coast's Rutherford sub-appellation in Napa, California. This vintage is crafted by Amici with consultant winemaker Tony Biagi and Dante West, who joined the team in 2020. It showcases the distinct character of the Morisoli Vineyard, renowned for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon.

The wine has garnered impressive reviews, notably a 98 from both James Suckling and Jeb Dunnuck. Suckling describes it as having "lots of ripe fruit but not overdone," highlighting flavors of meat, blackberries, and boysenberries. He notes its "plush, velvety tannins" and a "light toffee undertone," suggesting a drink window in four to five years for optimal enjoyment. Similarly, Dunnuck praises it as a "sensational wine" with a "regal, full-bodied" style, emphasizing its "beautiful cassis and assorted darker cherry-like fruits." He also mentions its "gravelly earth-like sense of minerality" and predicts it will age well for at least two decades.

Decanter awarded the wine a score of 97, calling it "polished, expressive, and beautifully built." The review mentions fragrant black cherry and black currant notes, complemented by "heady, toasty oak and sagebrush." A "dusty tannic backbone" and "blood-orange acidity" contribute to its structure and refreshing finish. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate and Vinous both rated the wine 94, with the former highlighting its "richly fruited" profile and "licorice-tinged finish," while Vinous focuses on its "silkiness and creaminess in texture."

Aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak, the 2021 Amici Morisoli Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, structured wine with a harmonious balance of fruit and oak. This wine is poised to offer a rewarding experience both now and for years to come.
