Tether Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

The 2019 is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 6% Merlot, 4% Petite Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc.  Anna Monticelli is the winemaker of this forward, smooth, and eminently drinkable Cabernet-based blend with soft floral notes and medium weight. Aged in 50% new French oak, the upfront nose has aromas of plum, blackcurrant, black cherry, tarragon, and pepper, followed by a juicy palate held up by finessed tannins.
