Tasting notes
The deep purple-hued 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Estate Reserve is well worth seeking out, and it certainly plays above its price point. Impressive cassis, tobacco, chocolate, and spicy oak, as well as a kiss of chalky rock-like minerality, all give way to a rich, full-bodied, mouth-filling effort with ripe tannins and a great finish. It’s a brilliant Cabernet that I suspect will have 10-15 years of longevity, if not more.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Estate Reserve is a heady, inky wine. Crème de cassis, chocolate, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and a tang of sweet French oak are all kicked up. This rich, flamboyant Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the goods, without being overdone. Give it a few years to soften.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Family Estate Reserve is composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens a little broody with sluggish tar, sautéed herbs and damp soil notes over a crème de cassis, blueberry compote and espresso core, plus touches of pencil lead and tapenade. Medium to full-bodied in the mouth, it has a firm, grainy frame supporting the layers of tightly wound, energetic black fruits, finishing long and savory.
