Tasting notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Caldwell Vineyard comes from the Coombsville region and a site I’m unfamiliar with. It has an incredible nose of pure crème de cassis, green tobacco, and gravelly earth. This carries to a medium to full-bodied Cabernet with a clean, classically styled vibe on the palate, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s another brilliant wine from this team.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Caldwell Vineyard—100% Cabernet Sauvignon (Clones 169, 191, 337) aged 21 months in 80% new French oak—marries gentle herbal nuances with notes of cherries, cassis and even a touch of blueberries. It's full-bodied and a bit more tannic than the other Brion wines, without quite the same level of mid-palate richness, but it's still a super wine.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Caldwell Vineyard is fabulous. Rich, dark and explosive, the 2019 captures all of the personality of this Coombsville site. A blast of inky dark fruit, lavender, sage, tobacco, menthol, dried herbs and crushed rocks build with aeration. There is no shortage of intensity or concentration. The 2019 is a huge wine with tons of promise.
