Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
Reserved in style, with a core of gently mulled black currant and blackberry fruit liberally laced with singed cedar, vanilla and tobacco leaf accents. Reveals a late tug of warm paving stone on the finish. Shows more of its Cabernet Franc edge in the end. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2032. 1,482 cases made.
Aromas of lead pencil, redcurrant, gravel, blackberry and sage. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Lovely depth and complexity here, with a wash of black fruit. Powerful, without being overdone. Delicious. Best after 2024.
Almost entirely from To Kalon (there’s 3% from the former Franciscan property), the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Estates Oakville is composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% each Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec and 1% Merlot. It’s a deeper, earthier wine than the Stags Leap version, with loam notes joining plum and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, plush and velvety, it finishes long, with softly dusty tannins. Best After 2023.
