2019 Addax Cabernet Sauvignon Lynne's Vineyard

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 99+ Points

Standing out as a Vintage Star in a truly great vintage, this is a wonderful and uniquely elegant Cabernet. The aromas are a Margaux-esque medley of blueberry, sour dark cherry, black currant, boysenberry, violet, dried sage, toasted rosemary and Darjeeling tea leaf scents poised above an undercurrent of graphite and forest floor suggestions. It proves just as sophisticated on the palate and marvelously supple, while offering chiseled focus and spectacular length. The luxurious flavors center on a deep core of blueberry and black currant, with gorgeous counterpoints of sweet baking spice and toasted rosemary. If destined to be the center piece of a memorable dinner five years down the road, it is an altogether splendid drink already. 135 cases produced.

This is the first vintage of this six-acre, Mount Veeder single-vineyard find by winemaker Russell Bevan. Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lynne's Vineyard displays a deep garnet-purple color, the nose slowly unfurling to offer the most provocative nose of Morello cherries, blueberries and candied violets with hints of cinnamon stick, rose oil and fenugreek, with a core of cassis and ripe black plums. Full-bodied and taut, with ripe, grainy tannins in the mouth, it has seamless freshness supporting the layer upon layer of red, blue and black fruits, finishing very long and fragrant. Beautiful!
