2020 Pilcrow Cabernet Sauvignon Ghost Block Vineyard, Yountville, Napa Valley  

San Francisco Wine Panel Score - 95 Points

From its deep purple color to its lingering finish, this is a notably ripe, clean, and polished 2020 Cabernet of immediate appeal. The nose is a harmonious medley of black raspberry, blueberry, Cassis, red currant, violet, toffee, tobacco leaf, and star anise. The mid-palate flavors are a focused and delightfully elegant reprise of the aromas, and they swamp the wine’s substantial tannins to continue the impression of polished richness without a pause. The finish layers in brighter flavors of cherry pit and red apple skin in counterpoint to the wine's sweet-natured, oaky spice. The result is a terrific, notably charming dinner wine.
