Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Titus Cabernet Sauvignon displays the balance and concentration inherent in our home vineyard. The wine's aromas are perfumed with notes of blackberry, cherry, blueberries, licorice and freshly roasted coffee. The entry is smooth generous with lots of fresh berry and mixed berry pie that rounds out with lush tannins. The moderate acid keeps the palate clean through the finish with pomegranate and earl grey tea lingering.
Blend: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7.5% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot, 4.5% Malbec

This sumptuous, full-bodied red houses a creamy array of dark fruit. Meatiness inter- twines with blackberry pre- serves, melting dark chocolate, plum pudding, and subdued tannins. Bold cedar notes punctuate a spicy finish.

James Suckling
An intense, sweet nose with lots of ripe, almost candied blackberries and blueberries. Some vanilla and pine wood, too. Full-bodied and soft on the palate with a warming, medium finish. Firm and linear. Needs two or three years to come together more. Try after 2024.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific value and has a classic Napa style in its ripe plum and mulberry fruits as well as toasty oak and chocolate-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, supple tannins and the classic forward, delicious style of the vintage. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years as well. Best After 2022

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
