The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) saturates the palate with blackberry jam, chocolate, spice, new leather, licorice and cedar. This sumptuous, exuberant wine is a terrific introduction to the higher-end wines in the Purlieu range. It's definitely a show stopper, that much is obvious. Vineyard sites are Sleeping Lady, Caldwell and Georges III.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon comes skipping out of the glass with exuberant notes of freshly crushed black cherries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles, plus wafts of chocolate box and aniseed. Full-bodied, taut and grainy-textured, it has lovely freshness and great purity on the finish.

A ripe and juicy red with ripe black and blue fruit, sweet vanilla, licorice and spiced oak. Full-bodied palate with a ripe-fruit core, framed by youthful, chewy tannins. Finishes round and juicy. Bigger style. Already attractive to drink.

The appellation 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a winner, offering ample plum and blueberry fruits, notes of candied violets and incense, medium to full body, and a fruit-loaded, ripe, heady style on the palate that’s a joy to drink.
