Black fruit, cassis, dried herbs, cedar and dried spices on the nose. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Structured with a solid core of dark fruit on the center-palate and an intense finish. Drink from 2024.

The 2019 Guarachi G Cabernet Sauvignon from Guarachi Family Wines presents a robust and intricate profile typical of Napa Valley's esteemed offerings. This wine, predominantly composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with a 10% addition of Malbec, hails from a high-elevation site in California's North Coast region.

James Suckling awarded this wine a score of 93, highlighting its "black fruit, cassis, dried herbs, cedar and dried spices" aromas, describing it as "full-bodied with firm tannins" and a "solid core of dark fruit on the center-palate" with an "intense finish." He suggests that it be enjoyed starting in 2024.

Jeb Dunnuck, who scored it a 90, noted its "dense ruby/plum color" and "spicy, savory nose of ripe black cherries, plums, chocolate, and tobacco." He described the wine as a "hedonistic bomb," praising its "full-bodied richness" and "loads of texture," which could evolve over the next 8-10 years with proper storage.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a 92, appreciating its "cedary, almost bourbon-like wood" and flavors of "blueberries, cherries and vanilla cream." The publication praised its "creamy and plush" nature, noting the "soft and pillowy" tannins.

Wine Enthusiast rated it a 91, emphasizing its value and quality, with a smooth, supple richness in "mountain berry" flavors, complemented by "toasted oak and tobacco." Virginie Boone remarked on its approachability in its youth.

Wine Spectator also awarded it a 92, noting its "plum sauce, blackberry preserves and melted black licorice" flavors, with a hint of bramble adding energy. They praised its "lush and toasty" finish, with the fruit taking center stage.

Produced in limited quantities, with only 450 cases made, the 2019 Guarachi G Cabernet is a wine that showcases the depth and complexity possible from Napa's vineyards.
