2021 Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon Pocai Vineyard Napa Valley

When you buy Karl Lawrence, you’re investing in pure quality. No heavy bottles. No extravagant marketing budgets. Just great wine crafted with care. For over 25 years, Karl Lawrence has operated as a word-of-mouth winery, earning loyalty from customers who keep coming back and spreading the good word. That loyalty allows them to keep prices down while maintaining stellar quality.

Karl Lawrence has been sourcing top-tier Napa Valley fruit since 1991. Legendary vineyards like Stagecoach, To Kalon, and Dr. Crane are part of their history. Since 2013, the Pocai Vineyard in the Calistoga Appellation and the Fig Tree Vineyard in St. Helena have been the heart of their wines. With grapes grown in such storied soils, it’s no wonder Karl Lawrence continues to craft wines that are both elegant and powerful.

Winemaker Ric Henry grew up with Napa in his blood. After a career in social work and raising a family with his college sweetheart, Cheryl, he returned to the valley to turn his passion for winemaking into a legacy. What began as a couple of barrels of basement Zinfandel is now one of Napa Valley’s most cherished labels.

Bruce Devlin brings a hands-on approach to winemaking. From brewing beer in Germany to crafting wines in Austria, France, South Africa, and Australia, he’s seen it all. Since landing in Napa in 1999, Bruce has poured his expertise into creating wines that speak to the soul of the vineyard. Alongside his own label, Three Clicks Wines, Bruce ensures every Karl Lawrence vintage is nothing short of spectacular.

Karl Lawrence has always known that Napa Valley Cabernet reigns supreme. The 2021 Pocai Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a testament to that belief. With its perfect balance of fruit, structure, and elegance, this bottle is a must-have for any wine lover looking to taste the best Napa has to offer.

No fires, no smoke taint—2021 brought joy back to Napa Valley. Thanks to ongoing drought conditions, the berries were smaller, the harvest concentrated, and the wines exceptional. It was a vintage the Napa Valley Vintners proudly celebrated, calling it a true return to form. And Karl Lawrence’s 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Pocai Vineyard captures every ounce of that triumph.

2021 is looking to be one of the vintages of the decade. Vinous Media blessed this year with a 95-98 point score, and said: "Two thousand twenty-one is a fabulous vintage in Napa Valley. That’s the good news. The not so good news is that production is down sharply, 30-50% in many cases. The wines have tremendous energy as well as finesse. In tasting, the 2021s show some of the savory intensity of other drought vintages – 2013 and 2014 come to mind – but with more aromatic explosiveness and greater inner sweetness."

81.6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.68% Cabernet Franc, 5.54% Malbec, 5.17% Petit Verdot. 

Sourced from the renowned Pocai Vineyard in Calistoga.

Winemaker Bruce Devlin describes the 2021 vintage as “showing a soft entry with a robust mid-palate. The tannins are aggressive at first but soften toward velvet, leading to a very long finish.” This is Napa Cabernet at its finest—bold, structured, and endlessly rewarding.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Pocai Vineyard showed beautifully, with pretty cassis and assorted, almost red fruits to go with ample spice, floral, and subtle chocolate notes. It' medium to full-bodied, fine, balanced, and elegant. ~93 Jeb Dunnuck
