Note di degustazione
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) with the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Incredible aromatics of red and black currants, spring flowers, graphite, camphor, and cedar define the aromatics, and it's incredibly polished and elegant on the palate, with medium to full body, gorgeous tannins, and a great finish. This is another awesome 2019 that matches ample richness and depth with a terrific sense of finesse. Drink bottles over the coming two decades.

Heavy rains in winter and spring totalled 51 inches (cf the 31 inches average). Temperatures see-sawed until June when the first of many heatwaves occurred. Picked 26 September to 11 October. 1,200 cases produced and released only in March 2023. Light to mid crimson. Less extraction? Still very youthful with only a suggestion of tea leaves on the nose but very winning smooth texture on the palate. Still quite a bit of tannin on the palate. Put this away! Pretty juicy fruit though under the tannin. This may be quite a star eventually. (JR)
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a very pretty Oakville Cabernet. Bright acids and lifted aromatics meld into a core of dark red-fleshed fruit laced with attractive exotic overtones. A wine of linear intensity, the 2019 impresses with its persistence and overall drive. It will be interesting to see if the 2019 develops a bit more mid-palate richness and overall depth. I suspect the heavy rains in spring and two heat spikes in late summer had some effect in a site, which was entirely replanted in 2008.
