2019 Skipstone Faultline Vineyard
$195
A wine of profound intensity and richness, this 2019 is among the most imminently drinkable Faultline Vineyard bottlings yet produced at this stage of its youth, showcasing the characteristics of the 2019 growing season of exceptionally polished and sweet tannins, overtly plush mouthfeel, and a soft yet serious presence on the palate from the moment you first taste. This wine is overflowing with sweet cherry and blackberry reduction, with sweet floral notes of bergamot and gardenias, accented by hints of allspice and California bay leaf on both the palate and the nose. Supremely flashy yet well proportioned, this wine flows across the palate and has an extraordinarily long finish that persists for well over a minute, leaving an impression not soon to be forgotten. Best enjoyed 2023-2040; we recommend at least a 2 hour decant to allow the wine to shine today. 46% Cabernet Franc, 46% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon
