Scarlett 2019 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford Napa Valley 97 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points; “Cut from the same cloth, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has slightly deeper notes of blackcurrants, mulberries, chocolate, toasted spice, and flowery incense. With full-bodied richness, a rounded, expansive texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish, this more opulent, layered, sexy wine is also going to benefit from short-term bottle age and keep for two decades.”

Winery Notes; “Made entirely of old vine clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon, a clone which is coming back in favor after many years of vineyard trials. Inky purple black color to the core, with an explosive nose of dark cassis, soaring barrel spice and bittersweet chocolate, it is loaded with dark and red fruits intermixed with that signature Rutherford dust. Expansive dark fruits mixed with tobacco and a hint minerality push waves of fruit that pump out flavor and intensity.  In the mouth, the mid-palate is framed with subtle amounts of natural acidity which makes the wine expressive, and elegant with perfect extraction and persistence.  The immense power and overall perfection of the vintage, display the velvet touch of natural winemaking and the precision is pure driven Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.  Enjoy with a nice decant or cellar for 5 years for all the complexities smooth our and come together.”
