The 2019 Oyster Ridge is understated and moody in the glass, with black currant and sage nuances forming in the glass. This is juicy in style yet could use more depth, with crisp red and black fruits cascading throughout. It finishes with a Violette Pastille flourish and hints of black licorice. The Oyster Ridge is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with a blend of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023)
