Tasting notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Cordes Vineyard comes from a site on Atlas Peak and was aged 20 months in 55% new oak. It has some firm mountain tannins as well as full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, cassis, plums, smoked tobacco, and loamy earth. This is another rich, powerful wine in the lineup from Alpha Omega that certainly offers some up-front charm yet will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. 504 cases.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Cordes Vineyard is a really interesting wine that brings together an opulent expression of fruit with the more savory, earthy notes typical of Atlas Peak. Scorched earth, tobacco, chocolate, cloves and leather all build in the glass. The mountain tannins are potent, but there is terrific fruit depth to balance things out. Superb.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Cordes Vineyard gives up vibrant notes of warm cassis, baked plums and juicy black cherries with hints of charcoal, damp soil and black olives. Full-bodied and fantastically concentrated, it has firm, grainy tannins and bags of freshness supporting the muscular black fruits, finishing long and earthy.
