Deep garnet-purple in the glass, this Napa-mountain Cabernet opens with compelling aromas of cassis, blackberries, warm black cherries, fragrant soil and tobacco leaf, leading to a medium-to-full-bodied palate of rich dark fruit, savory mineral notes and firm, grainy tannins that support muscular fruit through a long, savory finish. The plush layers of blueberry, black currant and dark chocolate show plush intensity with just a hint of spice and complexity, making this 2019 a richly structured yet balanced expression of mountain fruit. Pair with robust dishes like grilled ribeye with cracked pepper, slow-braised short ribs with red wine jus, herb-crusted lamb chops or aged hard cheeses — its ripe fruit and structured tannins stand up beautifully to bold, savory flavours.
