2019 "Sine Fine" Cabernet Sauvignon - Benoit Touquette

As with the 2018, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Sine Fine is made by Benoit Touquette and has a slightly darker, powerful style while still certainly playing in the sexy, opulent end of the pool. Blueberries, chocolate, flowers, espresso, and classy oak all define the nose, and it's a full-bodied, concentrated wine on the palate, with ripe tannins, a great mid-palate, and terrific overall balance. This floral, blue-fruited, seamless beauty offers loads of pleasure today yet will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age to integrate its oak and evolve for at least two decades. It's another brilliant wine in the lineup. (12/2023)
