2019 Cardano Estates 1913 Cabernet Sauvignon | Napa Valley California 750 ml

With a family history of winemaking that spans more than 100 years in the Napa Valley, Cardano Estate Winery is founded and operated by managing partner/Winemaker Edward Lewis Snider. After 20 years of making wine with Beau Vigne, Ed wanted to honor his grandfather and his heritage by creating his new label Cardano Estate Wines. At the same time Edward is passing the torch by working with his son Nicholas Snider as his assistant winemaker. | Cardano Estate

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon 1913 is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it gives up alluring notes of blackcurrant cordial, plum preserves and bouquet garni, plus suggestions of black olives and pencil lead. Full-bodied, generous and lively with loads of black fruit layers, it finishes long with a skip in its step. | 90 points, Wine Advocate
