Lancaster Estate, Winemaker's Cuvee Alexander Valley 2019

93 points Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2019 Winemaker's Cuvee is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot, 5% Malbec, and the rest Cabernet Franc and was aged for 15 months in 50% new French oak. It is rich with aromas of lavender, tobacco, and boysenberry compote and delivers ripe fruit through the mid-palate, with notes of blackcurrant, leather, and baking spice."

"This is toasty and dark-fruited with hints of chocolate, cloves and licorice. Full-bodied with firm tannins and velvety texture. Spicy and tense with hints of spiced oak and wet earth. Lingering finish."
