Lot 199 | 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml

Lot 199
2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Richly aromatic with a beautiful blackberry syrup and candied violets halo haloing crisply delineated cassis and chocolate-covered black cherry, warm river rock, a kiss of bell pepper to keep things interesting, and fresh-tilled soil with plenty of well-integrated seasoned oak. Red and black fruits are deftly-deployed over juicy, soft tannins that carry through a long, plush finish with ample flesh and plenty of verve with pretty red cassis notes echoing throughout. Classy and complex, this wine features a delicious balance between tension and hedonism.

Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 4 reviews.

Fantastic napa cab

"Big in all the right places and smooth in all the right ones too. Blackberry and cassis on the nose -- Minerality and earth join with the fruit on the palate. Plush finish - delightful now."

— Alexander S. (5/5)

This is a winner for the price

"I'd pay a lot more than $35 for lot 199. Decant for an hour and enjoy."

— Jonathan B. (5/5)

Velvet Gloves

"One hour afternoon decant, back into the bottle. Pour’s very dark, black licorice at first that evolves into major cigar box complexities! Delightfully balanced with both richness & velvet gloves. Plenty of delicious French Oak. A double Yum. 🍷🍷 Drink now with a moderate decant or age another 6 months and try again. I’m gonna guzzle the remainder over the next year or so."

— Scott B. (5/5)
