Exuberant and inviting from first greeting, the 2019 Courtship fulfills the yearning for pure cabernet enjoyment. Aromas of splashy red fruit jump from the glass while ripe plum and raspberry are framed by rose and hibiscus on the palate. Fine tannins and a core of minerality elevate this stylish Estate-grown wine.
Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, 6.5% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc, 13.5% Merlot
Notes of blackberries and blackcurrants with dark chocolate, grilled herbs, nut shell, spice box and wet stones. Structured and compact with a full body and finely grained, silky tannins. Restrained and lingering with a chalky finish.
The 2019 Courtship offers a bit more juiciness and immediacy than the flagship Cabernet, along with all of the energy and freshness of its sibling, all of which makes for a gorgeous wine that captures the essence of the house style and can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring. Crushed red berry fruit, spice, rose petal and a touch of new oak lend energy. Courtship is a very beautiful second wine, although that definition does not really do it full justice.
