Housley’s Century Oak Winery 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Judy’s Vineyard, Mokelumne River, CA ($30)

This is an easy-drinking Cabernet sourced from old vines in a single-vineyard site within the Mokelumne River AVA in northern San Joaquin County. It shows classic Cabernet character, led by blackberry and spiced plum fruit, layered with rich loamy earth and tobacco notes. A subtle graphite minerality adds definition, while building tannins carry through the full-bodied finish. Straightforward, satisfying, and disappears before you realize it. Suggest keeping a second bottle nearby.
