2019 | Priest Ranch Snake Oil Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley Chablis Daniel-Etienne Defaix red apple and freshly pressedA solid, densely built version, with a core of cassis, plum reduction and blackberry paste flavors that meld nicely with warmed vanilla, singed tobacco and loam, with the latter really asserting itself through the broad finish. A bit amped up, but will have fans for sure. 93 Pts Wine Spectator
