Blackberry, black-olive and crushed-stone aromas. Graphite, too. Full-bodied with density and depth. Solid structure and richness. All estate cabernet sauvignon with 20% Pope Valley. 2023 release. Drink after 2025. 94pts Suckling
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. A bust of savory Cabernet aromatics opens first. Deep and persistent, the Cabernet is full of character from start to finish. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, leather, tobacco, menthol and pine all open in the glass. This mid-weight, classically built wine is beautifully rendered. 92pts Vinous
Suckling rates this the top Keenan Napa Cabernet ever!
Nils Venge is one of the finest makers of utterly “classic” (and even somewhat old school) Cabernets: and this Spring Mountain beauty is in the mold of its illustrious neighbor Mayacamas (indeed, Suckling has them just a point apart)…but at a fraction the price.
