TASTING NOTES:
Subtle whiffs of mint and cedar emerge on the nose of the 2019 Marble Angel Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, joined by ample cassis fruit. Richly concentrated and tannic, yet ripe, this full-bodied, long-finishing and cellar-worthy effort would put many international competitors in the same price bracket to shame. It's a terrific, single-vineyard wine for the price of entry to Napa Valley, which ought to give nightmares to many investors there. Now if American consumers can just be convinced to give this a chance. Best After 2025
- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 pts.
An elegant cabernet with red-toned fruit aromas, as well as floral and leafy edges and cedary oak. The palate has good focus and holds fresh red berry and cherry flavors quite long.
- James Suckling, 93 pts.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Deep crimson with garnet hues. Fragrant aromas of cassis, violets, wild forest berries and crushed flowering herbs are supported by hints of graphite, black olive and cedar. The palate is rich and plush with excellent depth and structure, pure and focused mulberry, blueberry and cassis flavours and long, layered fine-grained tannins.
