Lot 213
2019 Rutherford "Single-Clone" Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep ruby verging on deep purple. The bouquet just draws you in with sweet, ripe violet florals, fresh Monte Cristo, and simultaneously perfumed and pungent fruit - the ripeness of 2019 blasting forth. Ripe black cherry and cardamon-laced blackberry fruit meld with dark earth and toasty brown sugar oak notes complexed with blackberry syrup and hints of walnut husk in an enormously complex and gorgeous bouquet. The palate displays new world depth with old-world elegance with black currant and humidor spice staining the edges of the palate with the elegant mid-palate rolls over the tongue with lifted perfume and aromatic cedar. Sexy, open-knit tannin structures make these wines plush and hedonistic but the fruit purity makes them beautifully expressive. Trust me - 2019's are going to blow your mind!
