Tasting notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Rosebud Vineyard, which includes 10% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, comes from a site on the Wahluke Slope and spent 22 months in 90% new French oak. It has a beautiful nose of red and black currants, new leather, spicy oak, and sandalwood. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, pure, focused Cabernet that has terrific overall balance, fine yet building tannins, and ample background oak. Give it 2-4 years to integrate its oak, and it should evolve gracefully over the following 10-15 years.

Opening to a delightful combination of freshness, ripeness and juiciness, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label Rosebud Vineyard is framed by bold fruit aromas that elegantly sway with hints of plum blossom, complemented by oak tones. The nose reveals fine mineral nuances, while the palate showcases ripe dark cherry notes intertwined with hints of coffee beans. It culminates in a long oak embrace that unwinds into a lingering, spicy finish. The Black Label Rosebud Cabernet is a truly enjoyable drinking experience that leaves a lasting impression, beckoning me back for more. Yum!
