2019 Greer Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a flat out stunner. Rich, ample and explosive, the 2019 possesses tremendous depth and pedigree to burn. Dark red cherry, plum, lavender, spice and menthol race across the palate. Time in the glass brings out a whole range of aromas and flavors that add stunning complexity. Iron, scorched earth, tobacco and incense linger on the potent finish. What a wine!

Showing darker black fruits, spicy, leafy herbs, chocolate, and spicy wood, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon has a rich, expansive mid-palate and full-bodied richness, all of which are very much in the style of this great vintage. Based on 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 19 months in 60% new French oak, it's just a classic 2019 with its ripe, round, voluptuous, oh, so decadent mouthfeel. Drink this brilliant wine anytime over the coming two decades or more. Drink 2026-2046. (01/2026) 

99 Punkte: In contrast, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is more round and supple, with loads of pure Napa magic in its notes of crème de cassis, toasted spice, smoked tobacco, and cedar pencil. Full-bodied, opulent, and loaded with fruit, it still stays pure, precise, and focused, with ripe tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and one incredible finish. I finished my notes with “Awesome.” Both the 2018 and 2019 are incredible, singular wines readers should seek out. (12/2021)

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon reflects a slightly warmer vintage than the 2018, showing a bit more power and darker fruit characters but also slightly less perfume. Offering up classic notes of cassis and dark loam, it's still tremendously supple, concentrated and long. From a superbly situated three-acre vineyard on Manley Lane in Rutherford, I suspect availability will largely be limited to the mailing list.
