Tasting notes
A killer effort, sourced from Kenefick Ranch in Calistoga, Relic's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Artefact includes 4% Petit Verdot. Matured 20 months in new French oak, it offers scents of crushed stone, cedar and cassis on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich and expansive, creamy and lush, long and mouthwatering. This checks all the boxes, being harmonious and even pretty, while being packed with power.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Artefact Kenefick Block 7 needs bottle age, but it’s a big, blockbuster styled effort offering lots of ripe currant and cassis fruits, notes of spicy oak and chocolate, full-bodied richness, and a layered, mouth-filling, concentrated style. A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot brought up in new oak, hide bottles for a good 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades.
