Au Sommet Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

The 2019 Au Sommet Cabernet Sauvignon is magnificent. A classic mountain wine, the 2019 offers up an exciting mix of dark fruit, gravel, graphite, savory herbs, chocolate and menthol. The bouquet alone is mesmerizing, but there is plenty of fruit depth, complexity and overall structure, too. Quite simply, the 2019 is one of the best wines I have tasted from John Schwartz’s Atlas Peak estate. Sadly, there is no 2018 or 2020. Drinking window: 2025-2039. Score – 97.
