The grapes for this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested from critically acclaimed vineyards that capture the excellence of the Napa Valley mountain terroir. Knwon for its rich, concentrated flavors and earthy notes, the higher elevation vineyards impart the wine with a distinct flavor profile.
Heavy spring rains enriched the soils and delayed bud break by a few weeks. A heat spike in June, followed by warm weather, brought even veraison throughout the vineyards. A cooling trend and touch of rain in mid-September created ideal conditions for the 2019 harvest which is considered a near-perfect vintage.
A dark purple in the glass, this 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon opens with dark fruit aromas of black cherry and raspberry with wafts of bay leaf, eucalyptus and espresso. Full-bodied with layers of cassis, tobacco, mulled blackberry and black tea. Bold on the finish with nice, grippy tannins and a lingering finish.
