Note di degustazione
Layered with earthy and rocky notes, complemented by oak and fresh red fruit skin, the 2019 Block 1 is crafted entirely from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine offers a fresh profile with a firm fruit line that persists throughout. Full-bodied and firmly expressive, this vintage exhibits complexity and depth. However, it requires time to reach its full potential, making it advisable to let it chill in the cellar for at least another year. This aged for 30 months, entirely in 100% New French oak. Only 6,600 bottles were produced. Decant for at least an hour before enjoying. Bravo! (AM)

Hedonistic on the nose with generous oak and a juicy, lush fruit profile, the 2017 Block 1 has swagger and class. Sashaying out of the glass, aromas of chocolate-covered blueberry, blackberry reduction, mocha, cinnamon, vanilla and resinous purple flowers with elements of sage and roasted bell pepper all vie for your attention. Full-bodied, locked and loaded, the wine hits the palate like a tongue depressor of ripe fruit and oak, before displaying a sturdy and balanced structure of elevated alcohol, firm tannins and energetic acidity. The wine continues to evolve for moments on the long finish with flavors of raspberry chocolate ganache, juicy plum and baking spices. Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine rested for 32 months in all-new French oak. Only 6,000 bottles produced.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Block 1 is another deeply colored 2017 that has classic Yakima Valley herbal notes as well as lots of lead pencil, Asian spices, smoked tobacco, sage, and both black and blue fruit tones. As with all these 2017s from Scott, it’s balanced, medium to full-bodied, has great tannins, and the class to evolve for 15-20 years. It’s a terrific wine.
