2021 Optimist Society Cuvée Volume II
Wine Notes Print tech sheet
We're delighted to present Volume II of our Optimist Society Cuvée, continuing our tradition of crafting expressive blends that highlight exceptional vineyard selections. This release marks an exciting shift from our Super Tuscan-inspired debut to a classic Bordeaux-style expression, marrying Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot from Sonoma County's renowned vineyards. The 2021 vintage delivers rich concentration and balanced structure, with layers of dark fruit, supple tannins, and refined complexity. This versatile blend embodies both elegance and depth, showcasing the quality and character our members have come to expect from Pangloss Cellars.
