Woodward Canyon Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines 2019

This wine is made
in a ripe, luscious style. Aromas of bittersweet
chocolate, dried cherry, licorice, baking spice and
blackberry are followed by full-bodied flavors. Polished tannins support it all. Fruit and barrel intertwine throughout. The finish lingers. It shows a lot
of richness and class. Best after 2028. Cellar Selection

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Old Vines, which has been made since 1981, comes from a mix of Sagemoor, Weinbau, Champoux, and the Woodward Canyon Vineyards and was brought up in 100% new French oak. It has a beautiful perfume of cassis and mulberry fruit as well as notes of new leather, lead pencil shavings, exotic flowers, and spice. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate and shows the ripe, supple, seamless style of the vintage nicely. As with all these 2019s, it offers pleasure today yet will evolve for 20+ years.
