Tasting notes
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith Crypt showed similarly to last year, with its aromatics of plum, roasted herbs, baking spices, and leather nuances developing beautifully in the glass. These all carry to a full-bodied, deep, rich, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon with the classic Hundred Acre velvety, seamless mouthfeel, a deep, layered mid-palate, and incredible length. It's impossible to resist today, yet given its balance, concentration, and purity, it will have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith is always a barrel selection with the idea being to show the vintage as opposed to a single site. It's slightly more focused and elegant in style, with a beautiful bouquet of darker currants, leafy tobacco, baking spices, and chocolate. This flows to a full-bodied, layered 2019 with ripe, velvety tannins, perfect ripeness, and flawless overall balance.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Wraith is a subtle amalgam of the three single-vineyard wines, showcasing a faint herbal streak, mixed cherries and cassis fruit, with deep undercurrents of loamy earth and cigar box shadings. Full-bodied, plush and creamy-textured, it finishes long and velvety. Just luscious stuff—good luck keeping your hands off it!
