The 2019 Maestro Collection Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah is an intriguing and unique blend not often seen in the Napa Valley. The aromatic nose is layered with notes of blueberry, violet, ground espresso, and allspice, a distinctive characteristic of the Syrah. The palate follows through nicely with excellent richness and flavors of cassis, black plum, and dark chocolate. The tannins are smooth and plentiful, promoting a well-structured mid-palate, followed by a long, juicy finish. This wine shows excellent balance allowing for enjoyment upon release yet is guaranteed to age gracefully for many years to come.
