Description
When you combine legendary terroir, meticulously cared-for vines and a perfect vintage, you have all the makings of a remarkable wine; this 2019 Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon is such a wine. The 2019 has an extra dose of power and tannin, but the wine still abounds in the famous Rutherford 'dust' a synergy of herb and black fruit, tension between the flavors, an a long finish reminiscent of rough velvet. Years of effort with organic viticulture, dry farming and minimal cellar intervention yield a wine that could not be produced outside of the 10 square miles that define its appellation.
