Presenting an opaque purple color and expressive aromas of red currant, ripe blackberry, and mocha, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals the complexity and diversity of the famed region. Layers of fresh blueberry, dried leaf, and cardamom spice emerge on the palate alongside graphite and notes of minerality. Polished tannins and a round mouthfeel evolve into a long, energetic finish.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review – Rated 94:
Blueberries, purple fruit and lavender. Crushed stones and raspberries, too. Medium-bodied and so fresh and vivid, with creamy tannins and a really long finish. Touch of vanilla. Just delicious.
Jeb Dunnuck Review – Rated 92:
A value-priced, entry level wine from the talents of Paul Hobbs, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a vivid purple hue as well as rock-solid notes of red and black currants, candied violets, incense, and tobacco. Beautifully textured and medium to full-bodied, with velvety tannins, it has a classic, round, sexy 2019 style that’s already a joy to drink. Nevertheless, it’s going to deliver the goods for at least 7-8 years. It’s going to be up there with some of the top values in Napa Valley Cabernet.
Wine Spectator Review – Rated 92:
A nice, extroverted wine, with a bright beam of raspberry and red currant pâte de fruit driving through, laced with energetic anise, bramble and apple wood notes along the way. Juicy energy carries through the finish. Drink now.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Review – Rated 91:
Almost entirely Cabernet Sauvignon from valley-floor sites, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers up scents of raspberries and cherries, plus hints of pencil shavings and crushed herbs. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a smooth, silky feel and some dusty tannins on the finish. Easy and approachable but structured enough to pare with rare beef or lamb, it’s a good example of what can still be achieved in Napa at a reasonable price.
