St. Supéry Élu Red Blend Napa Valley 2021 (750ml) *
Product price
$82.99
Description
A Bordeaux-style blend built on Cabernet Sauvignon, this 2021 Élu comes from St. Supéry's Napa Valley fruit drawn off both the Rutherford and Dollarhide Ranch properties. Cabernet leads at 70%, with Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot rounding out the rest, and the wine spent 19 months in French oak before bottling. Napa Cabernet blends like this one tend to pair the grape's firm structure against softer, plusher partners, and the composition here follows that logic.
The nose puts fruit first, blackberry and black cherry, with only a light frame of cedar and vanilla from the barrel. It sits medium to full in the mouth, carried by tannins that feel fine-grained and almost dusty. The finish leans slightly tart and holds on, keeping the wine fresh rather than heavy.

Expert Reviews
Sourced from both Rutherford and Dollarhide Ranch properties, St. Supéry's 2021 Elu is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 10% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot, all aged 19 months in French oak. Blackberries and black cherries appear on the nose, subtly framed by hints of cedar and vanilla, but the fruit is definitely front and center. It's medium to full-bodied in the mouth, with fine-grained, dusty tannins and a slightly tart, lingering finish. (Wine Advocate, February 2025)
