Signorello's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone is deep, powerful and beautifully resonant in the glass. Lavender, sage, mint, tobacco, wild cherry and menthol fill out the layers. Padrone, and all the Signorello wines, have seen quite a dramatic stylistic shift in recent years. Today's wines showcase the more floral, savory side of Cabernet Sauvignon typical of this part of the valley. The 2019 is gorgeous, but it is also tightly wound at this stage. Give it a few years to soften.

95pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The winery's flagship is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone, a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc and 3% each Malbec and Merlot, all aged in 50% to 60% new French oak. It's impressively floral and tea-like on the nose, with hints of menthol accenting cassis and blackberry fruit, while the medium to full-bodied palate is welcoming and rich, with a long, velvety finish and a touch of warmth. Best After 2024.

95pts James Suckling

A full-bodied red with blackcurrant and crushed-stone undertones, as well as just a hint of chocolate powder. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins that are polished and nicely crafted. Fresh and reserved palate, giving the wine pleasing austerity and focus. Drink after 2024.

95pts Decanter

Evidently youthful, this is still reserved and undemonstrative on the nose, although it became more fragrant with aeration. Flamboyant and spicy, this is very concentrated and shows ample energy and exceptional length. Level-pegging with 2018 Padrone in terms of quality, but a touch more racy and polished. The first vintage crafted by Signorello's new consultancy team of Steve Matthiasson (viticulture) and Celia Welch (winemaking).

94pts Jeb Dunnuck

Another great vintage for the flagship cuvée here, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Padrone is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Malbec and Merlot. As classic Cabernet as it gets, with a beautiful perfume of darker currants, toasted spices, iron, sagebrush, and tobacco, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, expansive mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It has another two decades of prime drinking ahead of it.

92pts Wine Spectator

A ripe, dense and polished style, with a core of dark blackberry reduction, plum sauce and black licorice notes that meld nicely together. Reveals a light tarry hint through the muscular finish. This has some serious underlying grip, too, flirting with a mountain fruit profile in the end. Best from 2024 through 2034.

Winemaker Notes

Rich, dynamic and concentrated, the 2019 “Padrone” Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking wine. This vibrant, dense Cabernet is packed with black cherry, red and black currant, plum and blueberry jam. This stunning bouquet is wonderfully nuanced with licorice, menthol, lavender and dark chocolate. Opulent and big bodied, the mid-palate is weighted leading into a vibrant finish of tobacco leaf, herbal tea, and mocha. Deeply textured with exceptional balance, this wine will reveal so much more in the years to come.

Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot, 3% Malbec

Winery Notes

Raymond Signorello Sr. and his son, Raymond Jr, founded Signorello Vineyards in 1985. The are producers of estate grown and produced varietals including Seta, a proprietary blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc; Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Signorello's Padrone is dedicated to Ray Signorello Sr. who passed away in 1998, a visionary whose dreams became a reality in the wines at Signorello. The grapes used for this Bordeaux blend are sourced from an extemely rocky portion of the estate vineyards yeilding a mere 1.5 tons per acre. The 1999 Padrone is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 8.5% Cabernet Franc and is fitting tribute to the life of Ray Signorello Sr. - the Padrone.
