Arrow & Branch'Black Label' Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

We love this wine from Arrow & Branch each vintage as the grower vineyards that winemaker Jennifer Williams works with are among the best and this offering represents a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet. With the help of her vineyard manager, Mike Wolf, they cultivated fruit from the renowned Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, Lewelling, and Stagecoach vineyards. The 2019 offers “thrilling red, blue, and black fruits emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label, and it shows classic tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and chocolatey nuances with air. A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, aged 22 months in 70% new French oak, it has ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. Jennifer Williams continues to make a powerful, elegant, and incredibly impressive style of Napa Cabernet, and this is a bandwagon readers should jump on sooner rather than later.” 98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck.
