Including 5% Merlot and checking in at 14.2% natural alcohol, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvee sports a semi-opaque ruby hue to go with a classic, almost old-school Cabernet nose of red and black currants, chocolate, sandalwood, freshly sharpened pencils, and dried herbs. A more elegant, complex, nuanced Cabernet, it's medium to full-bodied and has ripe yet building tannins, good acidity, and a great finish. All about purity, precision, and elegance, while not sacrificing intensity or richness, this gorgeous, Château Margaux-like Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be hidden for 4-5 years, if not a decade, and will drink brilliantly over the following 20-30 years.

The 2019 Estate Cuvée shows the pedigree of the vintage in its concentration, energy and pure power. Even today, as a barrel sample, those qualities are beyond evident. Inky dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, spice, licorice, menthol and leather infuse the 2019 with layers of complexity. This is such an impressive showing.
