Tasting notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Songbook checks in as 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, hitting a natural alcohol of 14.3%. This dense purple effort gives up an incredibly opulent, full-bodied, expansive, yet also elegant and seamless style as well as textbook earthy currants, tobacco, lead pencil, and floral aromas and flavors. Perfectly balanced, layered, and concentrated on the palate, it has wonderful depth and intensity, ripe tannins, and one hell of an incredible finish. It's one of the gems in the vintage and will cruise in cold cellars for at least two decades. 491 cases.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Songbook is a blend mostly from sites farmed by David Abreu, notably Madrona Ranch. A huge, opulent wine, Songbook possesses tremendous density from start to finish. Blackberry jam, chocolate, licorice and spice build as this flamboyant Cabernet shows off its considerable allure.
The 2019 Songbook Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it bursts with fresh red and black currants, ripe juicy plums and mulberries, plus hints of cedar and cigars with a waft of eucalyptus. Medium to full-bodied, refreshing and intense, it has ripe, grainy tannins and a bright, energetic finish.
