MacDonald Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2019
$195
Gorgeous bay leaf, alder smoke and warmed black currant confiture aromas and flavors take the lead, but it’s a close race with waves of warm stone, freshly plowed loam, singed tobacco and savory accents joining in. This has muscle, definition and drive, with a cast iron note adding a growl of terroir through the finish. Best from 2024 through 2042. 500 cases made.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon, native to Bordeaux, has thick blue skins, giving the resulting wines plentiful tannins and phenolics and making them particularly ageworthy. Over the past 50 years, Cabernet Sauvignon has spread to all of the New World's major winegrowing regions, and it remains one of France's most important grapes.
