2019 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, CA

From: Napa Valley, CAVarietals: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 2% Petite Sirah Tasting Notes & Critical Acclaim: From the Producers: The 2019 Adaptation Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from a superb vintage. Revealing blackberries, black currants, crème de cassis, with hints of espresso, cocoa powder and fine gravely undertones, this seamless full-bodied wine carries remarkable freshness and purity, delivering up front appeal with long term potential. “Coming mostly from the Oso Vineyard in Pope Valley, but with fruit from sites throughout the Valley, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, and 2% Petite Sirah that spent 18 months all in French oak. Red and black fruits, spicy herbs, chocolate, and hints of leather all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, some classic 2019 opulence, and velvety tannins. A terrific value, it will drink well for at least a decade” 90
