Hundred Acre Fortunate Son Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior 2019 (750ML)

98 WI / 98 JD / 95 WA

The 2019 The Warrior is deep garnet-purple in color. Creme de cassis, plum preserves, and chocolate-covered cherries give way to suggestions of sandalwood, camphor, and tar with a waft of fallen leaves. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and intense, with loads of earthy layers and a firm, grainy backbone, finishing long and layered. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is riveting stuff, offering an incredible array of sweet darker currants, tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and classy oak. It's a big, rich wine, yet it's not over the top and has a semi-opaque purple hue, medium to full body, seamless tannins, and a layered, silky, incredibly satisfying style that's going to evolve for two decades.-Jeb Dunnuck

Across the board, the 2019s at this address are riper and plusher than the 2018s, and Fortunate Son's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is no exception. Black cherries and red cherries join cedar and vanilla shadings on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is expansive and plush, turning velvety on the long finish. - JC, Wine Advocate
