Introducing the 2019 Carte Blanche Wines Cabernet Sauvignon, a captivating and luxurious wine that truly embodies the essence of Napa Valley. With its deep, inky red color and an alcohol percentage of 14.9%, this wine promises a bold and intense experience for the discerning palate.

Grown in the prestigious Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard, located in the heart of Napa Valley's North Coast region, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the exceptional quality and character of the terroir. The vineyard's prime location against the Mayacamas Mountains ensures optimal sun exposure and a unique microclimate, resulting in grapes of unparalleled richness and complexity.

Upon pouring, the 2019 Carte Blanche Wines Cabernet Sauvignon entices with a mesmerizing bouquet of copious blue purplish fruit, gravel, licorice, menthol, violet, and spice. This symphony of aromas leads to a sumptuous and full-bodied palate, where the flavors of ripe red and black currants, lead pencil shavings, spice box, and hints of violets dance harmoniously.

Renowned wine critic Antonio Galloni of Vinous was captivated by this wine, awarding it an impressive score of 97. He praises its density, vibrancy, and the sheer luxuriousness of the fruit, noting how the structure is beautifully integrated with the opulent flavors. Jeb Dunnuck, another esteemed critic, echoes this sentiment, lauding the wine's complexity, mouthfeel, and velvety tannins.

The 2019 Carte Blanche Wines Cabernet Sauvignon also garnered a score of 97 from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, where it is hailed as a perfect example of plush, valley-floor Napa Cabernet. The black cherry and cassis fruit are enveloped by the gentle nuances of vanilla and cedar from the 100% new French oak aging. The full-bodied palate is deep, intense, and yet remarkably soft and elegant.

Wine Spectator, known for their meticulous evaluations, awarded this wine a score of 96. They describe it as well-packed with flavors of dark currant, fig, and boysenberry compote, supported by hints of charcoal, roasted apple wood, and warm earth. The muscular and grippy tannins contribute to a long and satisfying finish, with an espresso crema accent that lingers on the palate.
