John Anthony 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

94 Points                                         
A fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon from a new boutique producer. The new John Anthony Cabernet, a brilliant successor to previous vintages, is on par with the best Napa Cabs but only a few hundred cases were made - try it before the ratings come out and its still available.

94 Points James Suckling:  "Fascinating wine with a superb intensity of blackcurrant and blackberry character. Medium to full body, a dense center palate and fine and silky tannins. A beauty."

94 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This warm, rich, gently spicy John Anthony Cabernet achieves terrific quality for the broad Napa Valley appellation. It tastes ripe, inviting and delicious, pouring plump black cherries and black currants over the palate, accented by a mélange of cinnamon, vanilla, mint and cedar. Fine-grained tannins add a velvety texture.

previous vintage 94 points Robert Parker:  "John Anthony Vineyards has produced a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of plum, blueberry, black raspberry and the telltale blackcurrant. The wine exhibits a gentle and judicious use of oak, medium to full body, a lush suppleness, and a deep ruby/purple color. This is impeccably made, well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon with elegance yet authority. Drink it over the next 12-15 years"
