Accendo Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Laurea 2019

98 Points | CWA
“The exhilarating 2019 Accendo Laurea Cabernet Sauvignon delivers an inspiring combination of deeply delicious, dark fruit + a freshness that bodes well for both short term and long term thrills. Notes of blueberries, blackberries and chocolate-covered espresso beans with hints of baking spices and graham crackers on the finish. The delightful journey crescendos with creamy vanilla oak and firm tannins (decant prior to 2024) to enjoy through 2030.” - California Wine Advisors

Winemaker Notes
““The nose of the 2019 Laurea is pristine, pure and energetic, open and inviting. Notes of cassis and blackberry predominate the intense aromatics, creating an alluringly fragrant wine that demands to be tasted immediately. On the palate, the wine offers an abundance of flavors of brambly black fruits that are rich, round and juicy, all supported by notes of ash and tar, with super fine tannins that lend gravitas to this overtly generous wine.” - Françoise Peschon
