"Instantly impressive, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Ciel is broad, focused and fruity, with layers of seductive complexity that continue to waft from the glass. Full-bodied, impressively layered and textured, the Cabernet offers profound pleasure that sings with harmony and unison of world-class wine. Gobs of dusty dark red fruit tones give way to a lively mineral tension before juicy spiced plum and blackberry reduction somersault across the almost unending finish. It’s a fantastic wine that proves Washington Cabernet deserves to be in the private collection of serious collectors worldwide. Just under 3,700 bottles were made after the wine rested for almost two years in 100% new French oak. This is worth seeking out." -Robert Parker

"Decant if you open this glorious beast anytime soon—tannins are at peak grip. Black currants, orange peel, tobacco and cedar aromas announce the wine’s presence. Blackberry preserves on a blueberry scone deep inside a chest of cedar drawers describe the flavors."
