2019 Leonardini Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Helena
St. Helena
95 points, Wine Advocate
This 2019 Leonardini Vineyardi s a powerful example of Cabernet Sauvignon from this stunning St. Helena AVA location. It begins on the nose with brambly black fruit, crème de cassis, dark chocolate, and a touch of cedar. Its balance and mid-palate are most notable, providing long, plush tannins alongside its dense fruit character. On the palate, it delivers rich sweet black fruits, blueberry cobbler, blackberry jam, cola, graphite, and toasted walnuts. The beautiful underlying tannin structure, complexity, and ample fruit will evolve over time and age gracefully for 10-15 years.
