The 2019 Greer Cabernet Sauvignon from Rutherford, Napa Valley, is a wine of remarkable purity and intensity. The vintage itself was slightly warmer than 2018, leading to a wine with more power and darker fruit characteristics, yet maintaining incredible balance and refinement. Acclaimed winemaker Aaron Pott, who has crafted these wines since 2007, has produced a Cabernet Sauvignon that is both opulent and precise. Tasting notes reveal a deep ruby color, with aromatics that open to crème de cassis, toasted spice, smoked tobacco, cedar pencil, and hints of plum, dark chocolate, dust, and sage. On the palate, it's full-bodied, lush, and layered, offering flavors of blackcurrant, violet, blackberry, and dark cherry fruit, framed by ripe, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, multi-dimensional, and incredibly satisfying, with an earthy, dusty character. While enjoyable now, critics suggest it will further improve with another 5+ years of aging, with some recommending to try after 2025. 【Awarded 99 points by Jeb Dunnuck and 97 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate】. This wine is a benchmark expression of the Rutherford Bench, known for its unique 'Rutherford Dust' terroir. 🍴 Food Pairing: This powerful and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes. Consider a medium-rare T-bone steak, slow-braised short ribs, or hearty lamb chops. For a Western pairing, a classic beef Wellington or a robust mushroom risotto would be excellent. For an Eastern touch, try it with Cantonese-style roasted goose or a rich, slow-cooked beef brisket stew. 🥂 Fit for Event: This is an ideal wine for a sophisticated dinner party, a celebratory occasion, or a special evening with fellow wine enthusiasts. Its complexity and aging potential also make it a fantastic addition to a serious wine collection, perfect for a vertical tasting or a milestone anniversary.
