Aftermath 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Napa Valley 97 Points

FMW 97 Points:: This 100% Estate-grown Cabernet (96.3% CS and 3.7% PV), offers up an amazing bouquet of classic dark Cabernet fruit that jumps out of the glass upon impact.  This 2019 youngster is lush, full in bodied, and surprisingly well-balanced.  The wine is multi-layered loaded with gorgeous black currant, dark chocolate, a whiff of anise, cassis, and a touch of spice on the opulent palate.  Extremely well-balanced and in-sync wine that will please the big Cab lover.  This is a killer wine, but unfortunately a very limited production.

Winemaker Notes: “The wine is full-bodied with a dark garnet color.  The nose is redolent with black cherry and dark plums, with a hint of violets.  There is cassis, dark chocolate shavings, black licorice, and tobacco on the palate.  The glycerin level is high, producing a long lingering finish.  Tannins are firm, but not harsh, so while the wine is delicious now it should cellar well for at least a decade.  The blend is 96.3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3.7% Petit Verdot.”
