2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaker Notes
Our 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet is our interpretation of a quintessentially classic style. The color is deep garnet and the nose yields aromas of dark chocolate, pomegranate, cedar shavings, blackberry, and leather. The palate exhibits flavors of blueberry compote, black cherry, espresso, and cigar box with bright and juicy fruit forward sensations. The texture is rich and bold with well-structured tannins that make it approachable now and will yield great results in the cellar for decades.
Growing Season Notes
Abundant and later than usual rains marked the winter leading up to the 2019 season. This provided good soil moisture to set a normal size crop with plenty of vigor. The growing season was near perfect with moderate daytime temperatures and evening marine influences, creating ideal ripening conditions. Harvest began shortly after Labor Day with our Sauvignon Blanc grapes and concluded October 30 with our last pick of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are fresh, fruit driven and vibrant, indicative of a hallmark and classically balanced vintage.
