david lawrason: 2019 la sophia

This pours inky black! Although approaching five years of age it remains very much a locked, firm cabernet sauvignon. Even though not expansive I admire the textbook cab blackcurrant fruit, violet, fresh sage/tobacco, graphite and almost chocolaty oak. It is full bodied, fairly dense, warm (14.5%) and still crusty, with a slightly green finish. Excellent length. Keep in the cellar another three years.
