2019 Aubry Cabernet Sauvignon Les Belles Filles Vineyard Coombsville, Napa Valley
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 96+ Points
Elegant and beautifully focused, the nose of this fine debut Cabernet melds scents of dark red cherry, pomegranate, dark boysenberry, red plum, cedar, clove, baking spice and a hint of dark rose into graceful, slightly old fashioned harmony. It is racy and as focused on the palate, where tannin and zest join notes of cherry pit, mace, cedar and hazelnut to stiffen the texture and counterpoint the delicious flavor. Beautifully food-balanced and lingering, if finishes with lots of cherry-berry fruit and spice. Expect several years of steady improvement.
