Vintage Note

Summer temperatures were cooler and considerably more even than in recent years, with a notable lack of heat spikes. Overall, temperatures across the 2019 growing season were slightly above 20-year averages but were nowhere near as warm as the years that preceded it. Growers and winemakers alike were excited about the quality of fruit they picked 2019. – washingtonwine.org
Tasting Note

“Brilliant notes of pure cassis and darker currants fruits as well as tobacco leaf, chocolate, dried herbs, and some loamy earth all emerge from the glass, and it’s full-bodied, has a pure, elegant, balanced mouthfeel, silky tannins, and is just a quintessential, impeccably made Cabernet from this team.” – Jeb Dunnuck
