The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Broken Shale is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it strolls out of the glass with nonchalant notes of warm cassis, stewed plums and dried mulberries with hints of fragrant earth and licorice. Full-bodied, the palate delivers a soft texture and great freshness lifting the concentrated flavor to bright, savory finish.

Both red and black fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and some earthy, herbal nuances all show in the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Broken Shale, which comes from the Pritchard Ridge Vineyard on Atlas Peak. Medium to full-bodied, round, and elegant on the palate, it certainly delivers the goods at the price and is unquestionably an outstanding wine.
