2019 Purlieu Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

VIN95 The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is bright, vibrant and juicy, an extremely appealing combination in my book. Crème de cassis, lavender, spice, licorice and mint are some of the many notes that run through this promising Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Purlieu and winemaker Julien Fayard.
Estate Notes: Abundant natural charisma and impeccable balance make the Purlieu 2019 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon an irresistible homage to the region. The dark, rich nose brings juicy blueberry, blackberry and purple fruit aromas from the glass. The palate opens into a full-bodied mouthful of ripe boysenberry and blue and red fruits, with warm layers of espresso and baking spice adding depth and dimension. Soft, well-knit tannins structure the wine and carry the fruit into a long finish of berries and golden caramel.
