A stellar vintage for this bottling — and that’s saying something about this Bordeaux styled blend that’s always a treat. This vintage is Cabernet Sauvignon forward, with great acidity that tempers the palate weight and keeps the blackberry, currants and fall spice vibrant from start to finish. This Ancestor is forming a pedigreed line of its own. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Monterey International Wine Competition.
