Tasting notes
Made with 12.5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Classic boasts a deep hue with a magenta core transitioning to a soft garnet rim. Aromas of summer sausage, stewed plums and blackberry skin greet the senses, accompanied by a subtle hint of volatility. On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied and initially reserved, with a firm tannic structure leading to a mineral-laced finish, with the fruit character taking the backseat. Decanting before serving is recommended to allow the wine to reveal its full potential.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Classic is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon but includes 12.5% each Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all from the In The Rock Vineyard. It spent 22 months in 50% new oak. Ripe plums, currants, wild strawberry, sweet tobacco, dried flowers, and hints of iron all emerge from this gorgeous wine that's medium to full-bodied, has a ripe, seamless mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. The texture and balance are spot on, and while it's already incredibly complex, it should easily evolve for 15-20 years if well stored.
