Deep garnet-purple in color the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate needs a lot of swirling and coaxing to unlock notions of blackcurrant pastilles warm black plums and mulberries plus hints of black olives tilled soil mossy tree bark and violets with emerging baker's chocolate and star anise hints. Full-bodied rich concentrated and with impeccable poise it has beautifully ripe grainy tannins and just enough freshness finishing epically long and earthy.

Gorgeous blackberry and currant aromas with hints of herbs. Wonderfully varietal character. Full-bodied with tannins that frame the wine so nicely and create a long lightly chewy finish. Fantastic wine. Available in October. Drinkable now but give it three to four years.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is dazzling. What a wine! Ample and creamy the 2019 possesses striking resonance to match its elegant refined personality. A healthy dollop of Franc adds freshness to a core of dark red cherry red plum mocha spice and new leather flavors. There is a level purity here that is just remarkable. This is the first v

Including 20% Cabernet Franc the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a hidden gem. While the Maya gets all the attention the classic Cabernet Sauvignon from this team is insanely good year-in year-out. The 2019 sports a dense purple color as well as quintessential Cabernet notes of cassis black raspberries flowers toasted spices and tobacco leaf. The purity of fruit is incredible it’s full-bodied has silky tannins and flawless balance. It has 30 years of prime drinking ahead of it.

This is very tightly packed with cassis bitter plum and loganberry notes compressed along with anise apple wood warm humus and sweet tobacco. The earth note echoes nicely through the finish too. More like an '18 in profile with a youthfully backward persona. Cellaring this will yield rewards. Best from 2024 through 2040. 1200 cases made.
