AI Generated Review Summary
This 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain is praised for its rich dark fruits and wonderful Cabernet flavor. Bottled in late August, it offers a beautifully balanced bouquet with layers of perfume and violets, complemented by blackberry kirsch, crushed red rock, leather, and notes of black cherry, blueberry, toffee, and bourbon vanilla. The wine is juicy, focused, and delivers a magic carpet ride finish.

"I've purchased more than 20 different wines from dN, and this one is my hands down favorite. I think I topped off my stash 2 times after my initial purchase."

Easy Drinker
"P N’Pour. Dark fruit, nice nose, muted complexity, medium weight with some minerality, smooth, no heat, oak in check. Nice and opened more with time. Decant to coax complexity."
— Jim A. (4/5)
Balanced
"Well done. Not one aspect of the wine outshines the other. Pairs well with food."
— Tyler K. (5/5)
Another great QPR Cab
"This wine has become my go-to pour for a Tuesday or Wednesday dinner - I think Cam calls it a cellar defender. You really can't go wrong with this one for the price - very solid wine that is good either as a before dinner sip or with a meal. Good length and depth that you generally only get with wines more like twice this price."
— Brian N. (5/5)
Fantastic
"My perspective aligns with others on this wonderful wine. Drinking fantastically right now, especially on the second day, with exciting future potential. Would purchase again"

Everyone’s favorite cab
"This is my go to wine when hosting. Hits all the right notes with just about everybody’s palates. The perfect cellar defender but maybe better than most of the bottles it’s defending."
