Hand-Picked in October 2019, the 2019 is a complete knockout, with phenomenal potential. To my palate, these are some of the best wines that Napa has seen in almost a decade. I felt particularly bullish about the 2013 and the 2016 vintages, but the 2019’s have a finesse, an elegance and a silkiness of tannins that is unmatched in recent memory.
Deep aromas of blackberry, red currant, plum, beetroot, and rich salumi. The opulent black cherry attack leads to a round & textural mid-palette highlighted by blackberry, black currant, chocolate, tobacco and hints of black pepper. Now through 2033.
