Description

Red Wine: 2019 | MacDonald Vineyards | Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon soars out of the glass with vivacious notions of black currant jelly, juicy blueberries, and fresh, just-ripe blackberries, followed by wonderfully fragrant notes of sandalwood, dark chocolate, tapenade, and Indian spices, with a hint of lilac.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon soars out of the glass with vivacious notions of black currant jelly, juicy blueberries, and fresh, just-ripe blackberries, followed by wonderfully fragrant notes of sandalwood, dark chocolate, tapenade, and Indian spices, with a hint of lilac. The full-bodied palate has compelling tension and perfectly ripe, very finely-grained tannins, supporting layer upon layer of rich black fruits and exotic spices, finishing long and opulent.

Producer Information

MacDonald Vineyard is an Oakville based producer in the heart of the Napa Valley. The 15 acre (6 hectare) estate is apart of the historical To Kalon vineyard – one of the most famous and valued plots of vineyard in the country. Current proprietors, brothers Alex and Graeme MacDonald, inherited the estate from their great-grandparents who established the vineyard post Prohibition. The inaugural yield was sold to neighbouring Robert Mondavi Winery initiating a contract that remains upheld to this day. Currently, 10 acres of the estate is sold to Mondavi although the future of this contract remains unclear. Planted entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon, the MacDonald estate has some of the oldest vines in the Napa Valley that were planted in 1954. These gnarly vines produced small yields of grapes with concentrated flavor compounds. Since inheriting the estate, Alex and Graeme have returned the viticulture to more old school practices including dry farming.
