2019 Discovery Cabernet

HORSE HEAVEN HILLS

The Cabernet Sauvignon from Discovery Vineyard displays a poise and perceived lightness that gracefully distinguishes itself from other Cabernet blocks we work with at DeLille.  Persistent blue fruits in the forefront are accompanied by sizzling bacon, graphite, and fresh hydrangea.  Oak aromas of vanilla and baking spices sit appropriately in the background, while the velvety texture eases into the polished finish.  There is plenty of enjoyment in this wine’s youth, but cellaring at least 7 years will surely provide more complexity and nuance.
