2019 Bernard Magrez Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

JS94 Plenty of sweet and floral fruit with hints of jam. Stone, too. Meat even. Full-bodied, yet very polished and velvety, with a fine-grained texture that runs the length of the wine. Bright and vivid. Drink after 2025.

JD93 While the 2018 was 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley includes 5% Petit Verdot, and there are also roughly 200 cases produced. It has an incredibly classic bouquet of red and black fruits, violets, tobacco, and cedarwood. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant, pretty Cabernet that will shine for 15-20 years if properly stored.

Estate Notes: The nose reveals notes of plum, black cherry and blackberry. On the palate, this wine is pure and concentrated, full-bodied and deep and ends on a long and intense final note.
