Taking on an inky red/black hue, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Sentinel is ripe with blackcurrants, menthol, and toasted cedar. Full-bodied and packed with fruit and earth, it offers youthful primary fruit of black plum, cocoa, and espresso, with generous fruit up front and through the midpalate before revealing ripe but slightly drying tannins on the finish. It’s a solid wine from this vintage to drink 2025-2035.

Seductive oak-spice aromas and concentrated black-fruit flavors make a great combination in this sweet-seeming, velvety wine. Fine-grained tannins wrap around dried plums, baked cherries, cinnamon and vanilla in a captivating way. Best from 2026–2033.

Blackcurrant, milk chocolate and hazelnut aromas follow through to a full body with chewy tannins, fresh acidity and a delicious finish. Give it a year or two but very attractive already.
