The 2019 vintage began with above-average rain, followed by a warm but long growing season, similar to 2018 with slightly more heat. The warmer conditions led to ripe, dense wines with jammy, concentrated flavors, ideal for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon lovers. Unlike more extreme vintages like 2013, 2019 also offers a refreshing acidity that balances the rich fruit, making it perfect for those who enjoy complex, structured reds.

tasting notes:

on the rim: deep, dark shiny oil with touches of magenta and mashed strawberry

on the palate: dense entrance evolving on a layered mid-palate, lingering on fresh granular tannins with touches of dark fruit and violet

on the nose: beautiful flowery nose of rose petals, lavender and pencil shaving with black pepper, blackberry and blueberry, lingering on roast beef and paprika
