Tasting note
From St. Helena, this 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon should present cassis and ripe blackberry with a quieter note of bay leaf and dark spice. The palate is likely to feel full but orderly, with substantial tannin lending grip and acidity tracing a clean line through the concentrated fruit. Its listed peak spans 2027 to 2042 within a longer window to 2050, while the finish should become more herbal and gently dry as it settles.
