Mark Herold - Cabernet Sauvignon Brown Label 2019 (750ml)

Vinous 96 points
"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Brown Label (Coombsville) is a blend from Caldwell, Bennett and [Caprignan]. A bold, dramatic wine, the Coombsville Cabernet packs a ton of punch. Blackberry, cedar, tobacco, menthol and licorice all build in this rich, heady Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2019 is a drop-dead gorgeous beauty. All it needs is a bit of time for the tannins to soften. It's a classic Mark Herold wine built on opulence and exotic richness."

"Alluring, with lovely açaí berry, plum, and blackberry compote notes supported by a well-inlaid cast iron hint. Reveals a lovely backdrop of violet and black licorice through the finish, with the fruit keeping pace. Polished, but not overly so. Nicely done. Drink now through 2038." —J.M.
