St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon Reviews
Lovely aromas of dark fruit and berries, roses, black cherries, moss and crushed sage. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Nicely transparent, with currant and blackberry character. Sturdy and steady. Drink or hold.
I loved the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon District Collection St. Helena, and this is such a sweet spot for world class Cabernet in the valley. Beautiful cassis and currant fruits, textbook tobacco, spice, and lead pencil aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness, and ultra-fine tannins all define this beauty, and while it’s already hard to resist, I see no reason it shouldn’t evolve for two decades. The balance, as well as the tannins, are spot on.
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena is once again one of the best wines in this range. All of the natural radiance of this southern sector of St. Helena comes through. Layers of inky red/purplish red berry fruit, spice, mint and wild flowers build effortlessly in the glass. Attractive floral notes reappear on the finish to round things off.
