Very plush, lush, ruby and voluptuous. Surprisingly soft and elegant with some nice initial integration. Soft supple, dusty tannins. Ripe; Blackberries, black plum, array of purple fruits, dark cherries, coca powder, nice spice, caramel, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, sandalwood to light cedar chips, dark chocolate cake, mixed dark berry cola. Candied; purple, dark read florals framed violets/lavender. Beautiful acidity with a plush long, well structured & balanced fruit & earth finish that lasts two minutes. Easy to drink now but I’d wait another 5 years before opening. Patience will reward another point or two. This 19 over-delivers it’s price point. Excellent value in Napa Cabernet.
