Tasting notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Denali Vineyard is juicy and lively, yet still plays in the ripe, powerful, concentrated style of all of these wines. Blue fruits, graphite, pencil lead, and graphite all emerge from this incredible red, which has full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's another truly “wow” wine in the lineup from this team that readers will absolutely love.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Denali Vineyard is one of the more accessible wines in the range, if that term can be used for any of these powerhouse Cabernets. Floral and spice accents give that impression of early appeal. Although there is certainly plenty of punch and power, the Denali is also less overtly rich than most of the other wines in this lineup.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Denali Vineyard features a drop-dead gorgeous nose of candied violets, fallen leaves, Indian spices and tilled soil with a core of crème de cassis and Black Forest cake. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with bright expressive fruit, delivering energetic freshness and a firm line of ripe, grainy tannins to support, finishing long and perfumed.
