The classic 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from this great estate checks in as 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. Its dense purple/plum color gives way to a gorgeous nose of blackcurrants, burning embers, new leather, graphite, and tobacco. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, it's one heck of a mouthful of Cabernet that brings classic Washington State structure and grip, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It's going to require 4-6 years, if not upward of a decade to hit maturity, and should evolve for 30 years or more. It's brilliant juice.--Jeb Dunnuck
Inky depth of color. A classic and timeless Cabernet nose sporting
notes of ripe blackberry and marionberry, cassis, dried herbs,
olive tapenade, cedar, vanilla, and coffee. The palate is balanced
with bright acidity and sings with notes of plum, black cherry and
baking spices. The tannins are beautifully elegant in this vintage
and the wine rewards with a very soft and long finish. --Winery Notes
