Lot 399
2019 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Like Howell Mountain Cabernet? Here is a delicious approximation for a fraction of the price...big, ripe, muscular Cabernet Sauvignon grown from the valley floor to over 2000+ foot elevations throughout the Dry Creek appellation. Lot 399 is a wine that combines super high-quality, approachability, and incredible value, all-in-one. First-run, 80% Dry Creek Valley and 20% Alexander Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 28-months in French oak with about 35% new wood.
Opaque in the glass, a shade off of inky, the bouquet is redolent with creme de cassis, chocolate covered cherry, tobacco, hints of leather, white raisin and barrel toast. Plush with chewy chocolate truffle-covered tannins, ripe, spicy cherry, blackberry preserves and a little red dust minerality that speckles rich, velvety tannins in a lush, resplendent finish of ripe raspberry framed with chocolatey oak.
