2019 Trinchero Napa Valley Mario's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, St Helena, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

The 2019 Mario’s Cabernet Sauvignon is lush, with aromas of warm fig, cassis, fresh plum and mocha. Concentrated blackberries, wild raspberries and black tea flavors are complemented with a soft texture and satin-smooth finish. 

Blend: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Merlot

TASTING NOTES:

Notes of ripe blackberries and plums with hints of licorice, chocolate, crushed rocks and bay leaf. Full-bodied with layers of firm tannins and a velvety texture. An array of ripe dark fruit and crushed stones on the palate. Lightly chewy. Try in 2023.
