The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Cloudy's Vineyard comes from an estate vineyard located in the Dutch Henry Canyon, situated between the Switchback and Hourglass vineyards. Ripe currants, blueberries, leafy tobacco, iron, and chocolate all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a focused, elegant mouthfeel, a terrific sense of freshness, and outstanding length. It's drinking nicely today, yet this beauty should easily have 15+ years of total longevity.

From an estate vineyard on the Vaca Mountain range, this wine has notes of iodine, crushed rock and vanilla bean. Layered and supple, it shows length and breadth on the palate, expanding to reveal enduring richness and intensity.

Of the three, very expressive, Janzen 2019 single-site Cabernets, this is the most open and wholly available right now. It, too, is a weighty, fully ripe offering that does not stint on curranty fruit and sweet oak, and, though nominally tannic, its supple feel and intimations of lushness afford it a certain accessibility that marks it as a wine less demanding of protracted cellaring than its mates. That is not to say that it is one for hurried drinking, but, in this case, it should begin to approach its enjoyable best in but four or five years.
