The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville comes from Oakville Ranch, and like all of the 2019s here, it's a brilliant bottle of wine. Pure cassis, toasted spice, leather, camphor, and dried herbs are just some of its nuances, and it's full-bodied, with a layered, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a rock star of a finish. It does have a touch of background oak, and while there's no harm drinking bottles today (which is common with the 2019s), it's going to benefit from 2-4 years in the cellar. It should have over two decades of overall longevity. Anticipated maturity: 2025-2039.

Lots of lead pencil, blackberry, pine needle and some resin. Full-bodied, yet tight and focused, with tight, velvety tannins. Bitter chocolate and some toasted oak. Pepper, too. Drinkable now, but give it three or four years for the tannins to soften. Better after 2026.
