"Deep garnet-purple
in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate needs a lot of swirling and
coaxing to unlock notions of blackcurrant pastilles, warm black plums and
mulberries, plus hints of black olives, tilled soil, mossy tree bark and
violets with emerging baker's chocolate and star anise hints. Full-bodied,
rich, concentrated and with impeccable poise, it has beautifully ripe, grainy
tannins and just enough freshness, finishing epically long and earthy."

"Including
20% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a hidden gem. While the Maya
gets all the attention, the classic Cabernet Sauvignon from this team is
insanely good, year-in, year-out. The 2019 sports a dense purple color as well
as quintessential Cabernet notes of cassis, black raspberries, flowers, toasted
spices, and tobacco leaf. The purity of fruit is incredible, it’s full-bodied,
has silky tannins, and flawless balance. It has 30 years of prime drinking
ahead of it."

"This is very
tightly packed, with cassis, bitter plum and loganberry notes compressed along
with anise, apple wood, warm humus and sweet tobacco. The earth note echoes
nicely through the finish, too. More like an '18 in profile, with a youthfully
backward persona. Cellaring this will yield rewards. Best from 2024 through
2040. 1,200 cases made."
