Alpha Omega - Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2019

Add to Wish List

"Dense purple color to go with beautiful cassis and blueberry fruit as well as notes of tobacco, graphite, and crushed stone. Rich and mouth-filling, it has some firmer, chewy tannins, but loads of mid-palate depth and a great finish." Jeb Dunnuck

James Suckling: 95 Points

Lots of blackberry and forest-floor aromas with pine needles and bark that follow through to a full body with a pretty framing of chewy yet medium-grained tannins and a flavorful finish. Fresh too. Try after 2025.

Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points

A larger production offering blended with tiny amounts of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot, aged 18 months in French oak, most of it one year old, this wine is earthy and thick. Tobacco, tar and grippy tannins round out a palate of rich black fruit and leathery texture.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

Offers good intensity and energy, with bramble-edged plum, blackberry and boysenberry compote flavors pumping through. The finish is scored by sweet tobacco and apple wood. Best from 2023 through 2034.

The base appellation 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is solid, offering a dense purple color to go with beautiful cassis and blueberry fruit as well as notes of tobacco, graphite, and crushed stone. Rich and mouth-filling, it has some firmer, chewy tannins, but loads of mid-palate depth and a great finish. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.
