2019 Signature Series Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon
The Tasting Panel - 96+ Points
Grainy tannins wash across the palate with melted dark chocolate and a fever pitch of black raspberry and mulberry. Broad paintbrush strokes of dried lavender, maple, and balsamic keep the wine concentrated and juicy.
WINEMAKER NOTES: 2019 was yet another sensational growing season and harvest for Napa Valley. With no major heat spikes to contend with, there was no need to rush through harvest. Temperatures allowed us to pick when we wanted, without stress and under optimal conditions. The gift from Mother Nature, once again, translated to wines that not only have great concentration but also an amazing freshness.
ABOUT THE WINE: The 2019 Signature Series Juliet Cabernet Sauvignon has similar power and generosity while also being lifted and lithe on the palate. Juliet is more fragrant in style. The wine offers plush black cherry, bramble and hints of wild rose. Tannins are silky and supple from entry through the finish, with savory notes of forest floor, incense and bay laurel harmonizing with the darker blue and black fruit profile.
