Tasting notes
The 2020 Ferguson Vineyard, composed of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 7% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, impresses with its freshness. This Cabernet-dominant blend unfolds as a juicy, firm and tightly wound composition. Medium to full-bodied profile and balanced on the palate, it has a succulent and firm mouthfeel marked by fine-grained tannins, promising a lasting food-friendly character for years to come. This wine not only delivers immediate pleasure but is also age-worthy, all at an attractive price point. The wine aged for 22 months in all French oak, 40% new. 15,600 bottles produced.

I'd put the 2020 Estate Ferguson Vineyard up with the top wines in the vintage. Revealing a deep plum/purple color to go with a darker, meaty bouquet of blackcurrants, smoked tobacco, leather, and truffly earth, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a pure, elegant, layered mouthfeel, lots of building tannins, and a great finish. This structured, serious, age-worthy blend will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and should evolve for 20 years in cold cellars.
