2019 Evans Malone Frogs Leap Cabernet Sauvignon

 
Opening aromas of cassis and currant combine with a mineral tone and a touch of warm spices right out of the glass. Flavors of blackberry, pepper, and vanilla as the wine builds to a lush mid-palate and then yield to a long, soft finish.
The 2019 growing season was long and warm, with cool nights, which helped to set the vines up beautifully for an extended harvest season. A little extra heat at harvest compared with the previous year gave the 2019 wines an extra dose of power and tannin, a synergy of herbs and black fruit, superb tension between the flavors, and a long finish reminiscent of rough velvet.
This powerful and delicious vintage will be one for the ages. We recommend a healthy decant if you decide to open a bottle early and cellar a few more for the long haul.
