Starting with tart red fruits and a dusty mineral essence, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon offers notes of black cherry and spiced plum. Medium-bodied and with a ripe, fresh fruit condition, the palate expresses fine-grained tannins with a dusty mineral tension. It ends with a long, spicy finish with persistent pencil lead essences. It's a well-made, sturdy wine that produced 72,000 bottles from wine that rested in 50% new French oak barrels for two years.

A textural and well-balanced red with red berry, earth, cedar and baking spice aromas. Medium to full body with fine, firm tannins. It has a powdery texture on the center-palate and juicy cherries and red berries intermingling with the spices, bringing much vitality and poise. Focused long finish. Drink or hold.

An impressive, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon, with ripe cherry and plum seamlessly integrated into notes of fennel seed, star anise and Darjeeling. Retains ample energy and firm tannic grip, keeping the long finish focused and composed. Drink now through 2031. 12,000 cases made, 100 cases imported.
