Tasting Notes
The 2019 Big Pour Cabernet is alluring on the nose, brimming with heady notes of creme de cassis, dark black cherry, baking spices and cigar box. On the palate there’s a lush and opulent character, characteristic of the mostly mild 2019 growing season, that offered both generous quality and yields. The smooth and succulent palate is framed by rich, velvety tannins. Powerful flavors of plum, red cherry and bright cranberry are studded with hints of graphite, dark chocolate and wild bay. This match between concentrated red fruits and smooth tannins yields a wine with delicious balance and grace.
