Deep ruby color straight to the rim very fresh and bright on the nose with raspberry And strawberry jam or strawberry fruit leather and blackberry liqueur with just a hint of wild spring fennel, licorice , and underbrush. Impressively broad on entry with firm, plump and chewy tannins, and a mid-palate that reveals a stark crushed stone minerality. All this is framed by richly decadent and juicy dark berry fruit redolent of blueberry, boysenberry, cherry, and blackberry . The finish lingers for over a minute, revealing flashes of rose petal, creme de cassis, creme de violets, and baker’s chocolate wrapped in lavish toasty oak and vanilla bean flourishes. There’s no holding back. The bottle practically finished itself.
2019 Fallen Feather Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley
Power and hedonism meet in a remarkably fresh rendition of our Fallen Feather Cabernet. Vivid aromas of candied violets, dried wild sagebrush, and lavish blackberry fruit lift from the glass. This full-throttle, full-bodied red is firing on all cylinders, delivering a tapestry of juicy blackberry, ripe black cherry, and blueberry coulis. Elongated, silky tannins are perfectly integrated, while layers of savory herbs, earth, and forest floor counterbalance the decadent fruit flavors. Offering the energy and purity of the 2019 vintage, this Fallen Feather from our B Block was aged for 20 months in new French oak, and is easily enjoyed now, but won't reach its full potential for another decade.
