Arkenstone's 2019 Napa Valley NVD Cabernet Sauvignon is a pure expression of the varietal, drawn from fruit across Pritchard Hill, Howell Mountain, and Calistoga. The wine spent 22 months in 75% new French oak, a commitment that shows in its polish and structure.
The glass reveals deep garnet-purple color and a complex bouquet of black cherry preserves, baked plums, and boysenberries, with undertones of cassis, spice box, violets, and dried mint. On the palate it's medium to full-bodied and firm yet refreshing, delivering persistent red fruit character and a long, savory finish. The wine is seamlessly balanced and shows real sophistication, with enough structure to age gracefully but enough immediacy to drink with pleasure now.
