2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon starts with inviting aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, ripe dark cherry, spice, dried herb, cedar, and loamy earth. This expressive wine serves up flavors of dense blackberry, ripe plum, mineral and chocolate flavors that are both refined and focused. It has the structure to last through the next decade, with the plush elegance to enjoy it now.
The Year
The growing season began with cold temperatures and snowfall in February and March. Bud break was right on time and bloom occurred a bit earlier than normal, on June 1st, thanks to some really nice weather in May. Summertime temperatures were normal with plenty of heat units. In the second week of August, the weather became milder than normal and allowed us to have a fantastic fall with beautiful hanging time. Harvest started in mid-September and continued into early October. We got some frost the mid-October, but all of our grapes were picked by then. Characteristics of this vintage show wonderful acidity and impeccable balance.

Awards & Accolades
“The inky hued 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is based on 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 55% new French oak. Rocking levels of cassis, graphite, tobacco, and scorched earth-like notes emerge from this Graves look-alike, and it’s full-bodied, rich, concentrated, and structured, with building yet beautifully ripe tannins. It’s another remarkable Cabernet from this team that warrants 4-5 years of bottle age and will be long-lived.”
