2019 Keever Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Keever Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Keever Cabernet Sauvignon I also loved the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, which brings another level of purity and class, offering gorgeous crème de cassis, lead pencil shavings, white flowers, tobacco leaf, vanilla bean, and damp earth-like aromas and flavors. Pure, clean, full-bodied, and just a classy, flawlessly balanced beauty, it has fine tannins, the freshness of the vintage, and a great finish. Enjoy bottles over the coming 15-20 years. JD

The purity of dark red and blue fruits provides an immediate sense of the complexity of this fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of raspberry jam and blackberry briars round out the initial impression. On the palate the wine is full, plush and round at entry, with the focused fruit aromas dominating the mid-palate. Winemaker

I am only emailing a very few select clients who appreciate the best. The wine is crafted by two of the best. The winemaker is Celia Welch is one of the most sought after in Napa. Celia Welch who became extremely famous making the legendary Scarecrow, rivals the likes of Screaming Eagle and Harlan. She has also made and makes wines for Staglin, Rocca, and her own spectacular Corra from Pritchard Hill. Ms. Welch is recognized as one of the greatest Napa Cabernet winemakers out there, a legend, she has made five 100pt Parker Napa Cabs. The vineyard manager is also a living legend, Jim Barbour, who manages the vineyards of the like of Hundred Acre, Revana and Celia Welch, also Grace Family, Blankiet, Pillar Rock, Revana, D.R. Stephens, Barnett, Pride, and Cain.

Demand for Cult Napa Cabs is insatiable. The wine is all satin and silk with a dense core of fruit concentration. 2019 got a monster 95pts by Jeb Dunnuck and no it is not $500 a bottle. I love this style of this Cabernet, pure Cab that has incredible balance. Keever is a tiny 6 acre property of rocky, hillside vineyards on the western slopes of Yountville neighboring the likes of Dominus, Ghost Block and Rocca. Celia has her pick of the greatest properties in Napa to work with. Only 500 cases are made. Celia makes it and Jim looks after it. The pinnacle of Napa Cab.
