Juicy and fresh, with a good racy edge to the mix of raspberry and red currant coulis, with hints of anise, red tea and sassafras. Shows nice energy and focus throughout. Drink now through 2030.

Mulberries, dark plums, dried herbs, cedar, coffee and cloves on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Fruity and crunchy.

Classic Napa Cabernet notes of red and black currants, ripe tobacco, violets, and cedary oak emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville, a medium-bodied, elegant, balanced, outstanding 2019 that’s perfect for drinking over the coming 10-12 years or so.

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon is an alluring shade of deep purple-red, concentrated all the way to the edge of the glass. From the glass, it radiates an array of aromas that includes blackberry, red currant, coffee, cocoa powder and white pepper. On the palate, the fine and chalky tannin provides an excellent balance of an initial firm grit that leads to a soft and melted finish. Flavors of sour cherry, red raspberry and chocolate invite another sip.

Wood-grilled flat iron steak with caramelized root vegetables pairs beautifully with this wine. It is also a delicious choice with a cacio e pepe pasta, as the cheese and black pepper are a perfect match to the richness of the Cabernet.

Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot
