The Le Genie bottling is primarily from younger vines off the Bella Oaks estate in Rutherford, along with some purchased fruit, including Cabernet Franc from Cappella and Petit Verdot from Ecotone. Bella Oaks is owned by Suzanne Deal Booth, with Nigel Kinsman as winemaker and Michel Rolland as consulting winemaker, with whom Kinsman has worked since 2003. It is super aromatic with pure blue fruit tones, fragrant capsicum, spearmint, and cedarwood. Plush and full-bodied, with velvety smooth, fine tannins and a profoundly rich core of dark-berry fruit nuanced by savoury herbs and Indian spices and a saline-mineral finish.
Rate 96/100 Decanter Magazine
The second wine from this great estate, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Genie is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. It's a beautiful wine in its own right, with a ripe, full-bodied, sexy, yet also pure and elegant style. Cassis, currants, violets, dark chocolate, and spring flower notes all define the aromatics, and it's a riper, softer, sexier wine compared to the Grand Vin that's already impossible to resist. Drink bottles over the coming decade.
