Old Fitz is almost always a corn-heavy expression and this bottling doesn’t rock the boat. Notes of cracked black pepper, fresh cereal (lightly sweetened), and honey are all dominant on the nose, with an underbelly of cracked, old leather.

The Chris in question is Chris Kenefick, the winemaker at Kenefick Ranch. His 2021 cab-heavy blend is composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, and 6% Cabernet Franc — a heady recipe, to be sure. The wine is aged in new French oak for 18 months before bottling. Let’s give it a try. A boldly fruity cabernet that’s dripping with notes of blackcurrants, Chris’s Cuvee has aggressive overtones of chocolate and blueberries, vaguely floral as it develops in the glass
