" The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is flat-out gorgeous and shows the supple, ripe, sexy style of the vintage paired with the inherent elegance and finesse of this estate. Darker currants, smoked tobacco, chocolate, savory herbs, and graphite all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered mouthfeel, and gorgeous, velvety tannins. It's absolutely impossible to resist currently, but this killer Rutherford Cabernet will evolve for 25+ years or more."
