Splash decanter prior to service, the 2019 “Xroads” Cabernet Sauvignon is a noticeable step up in refinement and balance compared to the “Date Night…” Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine pours a deep ruby purple with an impenetrable core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with ripe notes of black fruit: blackberries, black plum, black currants, tobacco, earth, vanilla and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The texture is silky smooth. Very well made. Drink now through 2039.
