The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a quintessential wine from this property. Firm and classically built, the 2019 exudes mountain energy. Dark cherry, plum, grilled herbs, bay leaf, incense, licorice and tobacco all race across the palate. I would give this muscular Cabernet Sauvignon at least a few years to soften. It's pretty impressive in the early going.
A fresh and balanced 2019 cabernet with currant, crushed-stone and citrus undertones. Itâs medium-bodied with fine tannins and a crisp finish. Rather sleek. 83% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc, 7% malbec and 3% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two.
