This supple, saturated and delicious wine is only a small step behind Ehlers' flagship 1886 wine that is twice as expensive. It overflows with dark chocolate, cooked blueberries and black cherries while fine-grained tannins surround and support them for further aging.

Offers lightly singed cedar and vanilla notes that enhance the core of gently steeped plum and warm cassis, while a subtle tug of loam underscores the finish. Restrained style but focused and balanced, with a subtle bay leaf accent echoing through the finish. Drink now through 2030. 2,589 cases made.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is an outstanding wine, as well as a great value in Napa Valley Cabernet. Both red and black fruits as well as dried herbs, savory spices, and background oak define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, balanced, and impeccably made. Drink bottles over the coming decade.
