The single-varietal 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon comes barreling out with powerful notes of creme de cassis, plum preserves, and sautéed herbs, leading to hints of dark chocolate, tar, and black olives. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with savory-laced black fruit preserves, supported by firm, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and lifted.
