Blackcurrants, blackberries and fresh flowers. Mint, too. Full-bodied and beautiful, showing bark, crushed stone, wet earth, tar, stone and chewy tannins. 94% cabernet sauvignon, 3% petit verdot, 2% cabernet franc, and 1% malbec. Needs five or six years to come around. Another Cornell for the cellar.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is super-elegant and refined, but also somewhat closed following its bottling, which is not uncommon for mountain wines. That period of stubbornness seems to be part of the evolution here, as the wine tends to only blossom after a few years. Today, the 2019 is marked by its brilliant upper register, striking balance and vibrancy. It is another compelling wine from Cornell.
