About the Winery: Keever is a family-owned winery based in the hills west of Yountville in Napa Valley.

About the Wine: The 2021 Inspirado is a Cabernet Sauvignon-led Napa Valley red blend that includes Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

Tasting Notes: Dark cherry and currant meet violet, spice, mineral and savory herbal accents, with an ample but balanced palate.

"Its inky purple hue is followed by a serious, concentrated effort offering tons of darker currant-like fruit" - Jeb Dunnuck.

"Dark red-toned fruit, iron, mint, white pepper, incense and rose petal confer notable savory/mineral intensity." - Vinous.

"It's medium to full-bodied and silky in feel, showing admirable elegance and length for what is partly a second wine." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

"Aromas of dried cherries, sun-baked earth and leather lead to flavors of dark plums, baked cherries, balsam and cedar." - James Suckling.

Serving Suggestion: Pair with roast lamb, steak, braised beef or wild mushrooms. Decant if opening young.

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
