La Sirena 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

TWI 95 Points: “The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley has 2.5% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Deep garnet-purple colored, it charges out with vibrant notes of creme de cassis, stewed plums, and eucalyptus, plus wafts of Ceylon tea, unsmoked cigars, and dried Provence herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate is ripe, rich, and concentrated, featuring firm, chewy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long and savory.”

Heidi Barrett Notes: “The 2019 La Sirena Cab is a deep, inky vermillion hue in the glass and leads with open ripe black fruit character on the nose. Notes of blackberry, currant, boysenberry, black cherry, licorice, cedar, all-spice, and toast invite you to take a sip. This wine is big and elegant with a broad, silky-yet-powerful mouthfeel and flavor profile. Cherry and berry-like fruit dominate the palate, enhanced by a subtle accent of French oak and soft tannin structure. Delicious and balanced with finesse. A Napa Valley classic Cab that offers approachability on release but also tremendous potential for cellar aging.”

Tasting Notes: Boasting a garnet hue, this 2019 Cabernet greets us with notes of black cherry, warm black currants, rich soil, and lots of smoked meats. is wine is powerful, full-bodied, and layered with texture. The solid frame showcases the long, spiced finish.
