Band of Vintners is a relatively new project from seven friends who initially connected in a tasting group. Their 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is classically structured, and yet, at the same time it is bright, lifted, and elegant. A warm and inviting nose of black currant, violet, bitter chocolate, and cedar carries over as rich flavors on the palate of saturated red and black fruit, spices, bay leaf, soft leather, graphite, and cigar box. It has excellent acidity and robust but refined tannins, ending with an exquisitely long finish. Drinking well already, this will offer pleasure for years to come.
