Tasting notes
From a site located southeast of the city of Napa, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs features a gently herbal mix of red and black currants on the nose. Almost entirely Cabernet Sauvignon (there are tiny proportions of Cabernet Franc and Merlot) and aged 22 months in 54% new French oak, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and creamy in texture, with a touch of cedar coming forward on the finish.

Lots of plums, darker cherries, currants, tobacco, and graphite-like notes emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs, a gorgeously complex, medium to full-bodied, finesse-driven effort. A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 54% new oak, it has some background spicy wood notes, remarkable purity, and great tannins. Drink it any time over the coming 15+ years.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Suscol Springs is dark, powerful and super-expressive. Grilled herbs, menthol and licorice add attractive aromatic presence. Inky and textured, with terrific balance, the Suscol Springs is a gorgeous wine from Cakebread Cellars.
