Note di degustazione
Aromas of red and dark fruits, warm earth, and resinous forest notes carry into the palate on a fine, textural weave of tannin, and mouth-watering, lengthy acidity. Flavours of fresh berries and plum emerge, with hints of bay leaf. There is a lovely purity to this wine, an overall presentation that is elegant while textural, very persistent, and will do well with food. The tannins are well managed, the wine approachable enough to open now though it will gain in generosity and complexity with more time in bottle.

Blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for 19 months in oak. The Eisele Vineyard grapes are certified organic by CCOF and biodynamic by Demeter. Wiry, floral, leafy, chunky Napa Cabernet. Plenty of grip (perhaps too much at the moment). Dark, intense, black fruits. Doesn’t have the refinement of some other wines but makes up for this with heft and power. Not my thing, really. (AWH)
Theres purity and focus to this wine with blackberry, blackcurrant and spices, such as nutmeg. Ink pot, bark and asphalt, too. So long and polished. Chewy tannins. Hints of stone and ash. Give it time to soften, but already a beauty.
Very deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Altagracia springs from the glass with vibrant scents of crushed black cherries, ripe, juicy blackcurrants and blackberry coulis, plus hints of cardamom, cumin seed, tree bark and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of expressive black fruits with firm and fine-grained tannins and beautiful freshness, finishing long and spicy. (LPB)
