Artesa Napa Valley 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, $18.99-$44.99, 92 points, poured a brilliant ruby-red color with a very broad clear meniscus and light copious legs.
Aromas of black currants, blackberries, a floral vibe, and hints of cedar and shoe polish were lovely.
Artesa was full-bodied, showed good acidity, a firm underlayment of tannin, and good flavors reflective of the aromas with a wonderful development of spiciness which transitioned the upfront smooth texture to a more tightly wound red wine experience.
Finished long on that spice, thinning-out fruit, and a well-balanced 14.2% alcohol. Balance is the watchword on this wine!!!
Paired perfectly with my barbequed pork ends.
I'm headed to the wine store for more of this!!!
