Rated 94
Ripe and layered, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is packed with notes of redcurrant, leather, cedar, and forest floor. Full-bodied, with more purity on the palate, it offers notes of ripe kirsch, blackberry, pressed violets, and turned soil, and while the tannins are more rounded, the fruit catches up. Drink 2025-2034.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
