2019 Tesseron Estate Pym-Rae Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The 2019 Château Pym-Rae is a textbook Mount Veeder Cabernet with its exotic red, blue, and black fruits as well as complex notes of mountain scrub brush, lavender, tobacco, and lead pencil. Hitting the palate with full-bodied richness, it has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine yet substantial tannins, and a great finish. It's one of those 'iron fist in a velvet glove' type wines that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and shine over the following two decades.Drink: 2025-2047. Review Date: May 2023
