Tasting notes
This vintage in Napa Valley was exquisite. Lower yields and a gorgeous growing season made for wines that are intense and opulent. 2019 Cabernet Sauvignons have the stuffing to age indefinitely but also the fruit and polish to fall in love with now. The 2019 is the boldest vintage of Unwritten Cabernet Sauvignon to date. It is a wave of sensation as you take in the aromas of plum, boysenberry, baking spice and jasmine. A rich and smooth entry leads to heady notes of licorice, matcha, and mahogany. The flow of the wine is both complex and plush. Dusty, almost ethereal, tannins evolve as the wine rolls over your palate, becoming finely pointed accents of wild blackberry flavor. A showstopper from a great vintage. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville Station (adjacent to To Kalon in Oakville}, Lewelling Ranch in St Helena and a small amount of Cabernet from Howell Mountain. Aged 27 months in 100% French Oak, 70% of which is new and 30% that is once-used.
