Tasting notes
Considering this is made with the estate's young vines, and positioned as their entry level Cabernet, it is just insanely good, lighting up in the palate. You get waves of aromatics, a ton of intensity and yet treads lightly as it goes, with the same bay leaf and roses signature that I am finding in most vintages of these wines, along with brambled blackberry and raspberry notes, and touches of fresh pomegrante. The latest release, as they age in barrel then hold back at the estate in bottle for two years. 72% new French oak, Philippe Melka consultant, Sarah Donley winemaker. A buy - and a perfect example of a 94 point wine in my ratings.

The "entry-level" wine from Adamvs, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon TERES is a supple, early-maturing expression of Howell Mountain. It has the sage and bay leaf shadings common to many of Napa's mountain vineyards, blending them easily with deeper notes of ripe cherries and cassis on the nose. Full-bodied and expansive on the palate, it finishes silky and long, with echoes of salted licorice.
