“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
One Point Five is a gem of a wine that readers will love to have in their
cellars. Sweet cassis, violets, and graphite define the bulk of the aromas, and
it’s a classic Napa Valley Cabernet on the palate with its full-bodied
richness, velvety tannins, and opulent yet balanced style. A blend of 83%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot, raised 20
months in new barrels, it’s going to keep for a solid two decades. There are
9,000 cases of this beauty made.”

“A perennial powerhouse, this
wine includes 12% Merlot, 3% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot. Tight, tannic and
brawny in style, it offers dense layers of rich earth, dried herb, soy and
leather, with unmistakable muscularity that wraps itself around lushly dark, baked
fruit.”

“Blackberries and blueberries
with cherries, too. The palate is very polished and refined with fresh, velvety
tannins that provide tension and verve. It’s long and vivid with polish and
beauty. Drinkable now, but give it at least three or four years to soften.
Better after 2026.”
