Tasting note
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should offer cassis, blackberry and dark plum, lifted by a restrained herbal aroma. The 2019 Cuvée Katrina Eileen is expected to feel polished and substantial, firm tannins supporting the ripe fruit as acidity draws the palate into a long line. Peak maturity runs through 2034; the later horizon is 2041, with dark berry giving way to cedar, spice and a gentle savory note.
