Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville Old Vines - Miljenko's 100th Birthday 2019

- 93 points -

Grgich Hills farms 63 acres east of the Napanook Vineyard and crossing over to the Yountville town side of Highway 29; 25 of those acres date to 1959, planted to the Inglenook clone of cabernet on St-George rootstock. Part of the Grgich Hills Estate since 1984, farmed under organics since 2000, those 60-year-old vines produced a bright, floral cabernet in 2019, brisk and saturated with the cool feel of Yountville fruit. The tannins are open and welcoming, with some earthy grit in the finish. This has a long life ahead
