Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

Classic and well-structured, this Cabernet Sauvignon brims with soft and approachable notes of black plum and wisps of fennel on the nose. Layers of dark cherry and cassis are unscored by hints of black licorice and a gravelly earthiness. The oak is well-integrated, imparting notes of sweet aromatics, resin and a bit of torn mint on the long finish.

Serve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with all manner of grilled steak, juicy burgers and Portobello mushrooms.

Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec

94 Points - James Suckling

Currant, green pine-cone and bark aromas follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a creamy texture. Reserved at the end. Very fine and elegant.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Layered and lavish, this super-concentrated wine blankets dark chocolate, dried blueberries and mocha flavors in thick, velvety tannins for a powerful effect that lasts through a lingering finish. Best through 2033.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Ripe, but with freshness to help carry off the well-laden core of blackberry, boysenberry and black cherry compote. Reveals a nice backdrop of singed alder and mesquite as well as licorice snap, with good underlying juiciness. Best from 2023 through 2036.

91 Points - Decanter

Michael Eddy has produced a fine wine here, exhibiting bright red berry fruit, vanilla and sweet oak spice aromas. Medium-bodied with ample freshness, with flavours of compact red fruit and baking spices layered by supple tannins. A long finish punctuated by chocolate and wild herbs. A great value for the vintage.
