Sleeping Giant, Coombsville – Napa Valley (California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

 Already a pretty generous wine, this is all about rich, dark fruit and a plush midpalate texture for it to ride on.  Soft herbs add contrast, and a supple grip gives some push to the finish, where the fruit really shines.  This exemplifies the New School style and shows winemaker Chris Dearden’s skill at sourcing.  He is offering two other Cabernets from 2019 — I hope to get a taste of those soon, and of course will report back diligently.
