2019 Giuseppe Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep, inky garnet hue in the glass. Its opulent color hints at the richness that lies within. The nose is an enticing bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry. A subtle hint of cedar and tobacco leaf notes blend seamlessly with the fruit, adding depth and complexity. There's a delicate waft of violets and lavender, providing an elegant floral touch. The palate is a symphony of flavors, with ripe black fruits taking center stage. Blackberries, black currants, and plums dance harmoniously, showcasing the grape's varietal purity. The wine is well-structured, with velvety tannins that provide a silky, luxurious mouthfeel. Layers of vanilla, toasted oak, and dark chocolate add a refined sweetness and complexity. The oak influence, predominantly from 28% new French oak by François Frères, is evident but well-integrated, offering a balanced touch of spice and smokiness. Full-bodied and powerful, this Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a robust and solid structure, carrying its opulence with grace. It displays excellent balance and a long, lingering finish that leaves you craving another sip. The finish is exceptionally long and satisfying. The dark fruit flavors persist, with a touch of espresso and an echo of the initial floral notes. It culminates in a graceful fade, leaving a memory of the wine's richness.
