Tasting Notes

An example of how excellent practices in the vineyard can make a varietal shine, this limited bottling has all the layers and unique characteristics you’d expect from a high-quality Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. On the nose, aromas of wild sage hint at an herbal character. Notes of dark berries, and dark plum play in concert with more savory flavors and a tinge of chocolate is present throughout. The palate is more linear with brilliantly focused acidity and freshness that leads to a pleasingly dry finish.

James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, May 2022

“Plenty of blackcurrant and ink aromas with hints of currant bush and fresh herbs, following through to a medium to full body with tannin finesse and real freshness. Shows the nature of the Clone 4. Drinkable now, but give it three or four years to open.”

Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate

“There are 454 cases of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 4, which spent 21 months in 100% new French oak. To its credit, the wine doesn't come across as overly wooded, instead showcasing notes of redcurrants, dried herbs and ripe cherries. Full-bodied and marked by some dusty tannins on the finish, perhaps this wine will show a bit more down the road, but for now, it comes across as lacking a bit of concentration.”

      Vintage Notes
      The 2019 harvest started one to two weeks later than previous years, mostly due to February rains, but because the vines were in their winter dormancy, it did not affect the 2019 crop. Spring continued to be wet with some rain during flowering, followed by cool temperatures that allowed the grapes to mature gradually. Most grapes ripened at lower sugars, thanks to the extended, cool growing season, and winemakers were pleased with the full flavors, fresh acidity, and superb balance of the 2019 fruit. The resulting crop showed a modest yield with a slightly more compact structure and extract than in previous years.
