__

The 2019 estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the artistry of Mt. Veeder terroir, offering an impressive expression of sophistication, complexity, and structure. On the nose, aromas of ripe wild raspberry mingle with gentle whiffs of vanilla caramel. The incorporation of Malbec softens the palate, providing a lush mouthfeel. Dark fruit, licorice, cocoa, and vanilla oak spice coalesce for an alluring flavor that lingers for a memorable conclusion.

Grape Composition: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot

Wine Enthusiast: 94
This complex and well-balanced wine seamlessly blends black fruits, oak spices and a beefy accent on a full body backed by moderate tannins. It feels velvety, almost silky, but has the structure to improve with age. Best from 2025. Cellar Selection.
James Suckling: 92
A very soft and friendly red with plum and blackberry character. Medium body with medium firm tannins and a delicious finish.
