Blend: 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Syrah
TASTING NOTES:
This is chockablock with winey dark currant and juicy plum pâte de fruit notes, laced with hints of licorice root, tar and roasted apple wood. Offers ample structure, but it's racy and well-embedded in the fruit. Really vibrant throughout. Best from 2023

Polished nose of cherries, blackberries, raspberries, sweet tobacco, walnuts and dried leaves. Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Structured and firm.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley gives up notes of violets, cedar chest and vanilla pod over a core of crème de cassis and plum preserves. Medium to full-bodied and packed with juicy black fruits, it has a velvety texture and minty lift on the long finish.

Readers looking for a terrific Napa Cabernet that won’t break the bank will love the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, a rich, mouth-filling, medium to full-bodied effort with lots of red and black fruits as well as notes of chocolate, cedary oak, and even a hint of black olive.
