The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon displays all the hallmarks of a great wine sourced from our estate on Spring Mountain. Upon first pour, the wine shows dusty notes of sage, white pepper, and rosemary. As the wine continues to open, aromas of sweet brambly fruit, floral hibiscus and fresh plum fill the glass. On the palate, the wine exhibits sweet red fruits mingling with blackberry and currants. Secondary notes of licorice, cedar, and tobacco continue to evolve in the glass over time. The structure shows weight and precision while balancing tannins and acidity over a lengthy finish. This wine is showing well now but will age gracefully over the next decade.

Additional Notes

Following in the footsteps of the stellar 2018 vintage, the 2019 growing season provided us with yet another opportunity to create great wines. The year began with above-average rainfall in January, February, and March, filling aquifers and reservoirs and increasing soil moisture for the growing season ahead. This cooler start to the year resulted in a slightly delayed bud break relative to previous years, however, the ideal growing season continued into the summer months as moderate heat persisted without many heat spikes. Cool mornings and warm afternoons allowed the fruit to retain acidity while ripening phenolics. This created great structure and texture while young, and should also prove beneficial for aging. The 2019 harvest began with Sauvignon Blanc on September 3rd and finished with our last lot of Cabernet Sauvignon on November 16th.
