WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Being drawn from the entire Napa Valley, our Terroir Series is characterized by soft tannins and chocolatey notes. Balanced by Merlot and Petit Verdot grapes, this wine continually shows beautiful aromatics of brambly berries and baking spice, complemented by powerful dark fruit flavors and elegant tannins.
TASTING NOTES:
This is packed with waves of steeped plum, boysenberry compote and açaí reduction, dripping with fruit but keeping its form and detail thanks to underlying tar and graphite notes. Presents pretty violet and anise accents, which fill in the background. Best from 2023 through 2036.
- Wine Spectator, 94 pts.
A rich, mouth-filling, slightly chewy wine that brings the fruits, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Terroir Series offers up lots of chocolaty blackcurrant, tobacco, and roasted herb aromatics, medium to full body, a round, mouth-filling texture, and outstanding length on the finish. It will certainly scratch any Cabernet itch you might have. Drink it over the coming decade or so.
