The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is a youthful red color and takes things to the next level, with well-layered notes of pencil shavings, cassis, lavender, and sweet tobacco. This one is all about the aromatics, but it’s full-bodied, plush, and weightless, floating on the palate with a completely approachable feel that’s hard to resist now.

A rounded, resolved character helps this full-bodied but well-polished wine be drinkable now. It goes deep in black cherries, blueberries and savory hints of bay leaves and black olives, with smooth, moderate tannins.

Blended with 12% Petit Verdot, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum has pure, detailed aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, mint chocolate and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate pairs transparent, understated flavors with polished tannins and bright acidity, and it has a long, perfumed finish. Rating: 93+

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is bright and nicely focused. Red cherry/plum fruit, spice, mocha, cedar and new leather lend notable vibrancy to this mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2019 is a blend of fruit from Oakville and Oak Knoll, with the vibrancy of Oak Knoll lending freshness and verve, but also closing the wine down for the time being.

92pts Wine Spectator

A focused version, offering a mix of gently mulled loganberry, blackberry and black cherry fruit scored with worn cedar and sweet tobacco, plus a hint of loam. Shows a slightly taut feel through the finish, giving this an echo of old school. Best from 2025 through 2037. 588 cases made.
