Stratus Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

This is solid if slender and well balanced cabernet from an moderate to cooler vintage. It avoids too much greenness, presenting well integrated blackcurrant, fine spice and graphite. It is very evenly built, almost juicy yet sophisticated, with fine tannin. The length is excellent. This should age very nicely – best 2027 to 2035. It is what I want and expect Niagara cabernet to be. Tasted March 2024. Score – 92. (David Lawrason, winealign.com)
