Argot Wines 1555 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville ‘Bonny’s Vineyard’ 2021

Introduction

Born in the Midwest, to a large Irish family, wine did not play a role in Justin’s life while growing up. Milk was the beverage of choice at the dinner table, and the industrial beers of the Midwest fueled family parties. He does not pinpoint a specific moment that his passion for wine was ignited but, instead, attributes it to a series of experiences, places visited, bottles opened and friendships forged. At this point in life, he can not imagine a life without the joys of all things wine!

Hailing from the historic Bonny’s Vineyard in the heart of Oakville. Gravel-rich soils promote vine roots to plumb deep into the valley floor, while leaf canopies harvest Napa’s persistent summer sunshine. These conditions conspire to produce a profound Cabernet Sauvignon terroir at this marquee Oakville site.

After dialling in the vines with aggressive farming practices, what resulted was a particularly late harvest by this site’s standard of exquisitely ripe and delicious Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Pouring a deep opaque red-violet, 1555’s Cabernet personality leaps from the glass balancing opulent fruit, damp earth, chilling minerality, and an alluring spicy note that keeps pulling us back for more. Exquisitely ripe tannins provide a refined, velvety structure that expertly delivers a deep and seductively rich palate. A stunning Cabernet Sauvignon of undeniable pedigree.
