The 2019 Red Blend The Ultimate Debate will surely thrill readers who enjoy these wines. Inky, rich and explosive to the core, the 2019 possesses off the charts richness and structure to match. Readers should be in no rush here. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are some of the many aromas and flavors that emerge from this heady, explosive red blend from The Debate.

Aromas of mulberries, dark plums, earth, bark and baking spices. Full body with plush tannins. Rich and creamy with punchy character. Flavorful finish with excellent length. A blend of 62% cabernet sauvignon and 38% cabernet franc. Drink from 2023. (10/2021)

Sweet blueberries, crème de cassis, spring flowers, incense, iron, and baking spice are just some of the nuances in the 2019 Red Blend The Ultimate Debate, and it's full-bodied, dense, and massive on the palate, while somehow staying light on its feet and graceful, with no sensation of weight or heaviness. Possessing incredible extract, concentration, and layers of sweet fruit, as well as ripe tannins and a great finish, it's a decadent Napa Valley red blend that will evolve for 20 years or more.

The 2019 The Ultimate is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 38% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding out with vibrant scents of black cherries, redcurrant preserves, and warm cassis followed by suggestions of violets, underbrush, and unsmoked cigars with a waft of dusty soil. The full-bodied palate is rich and decadent, with firm, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and earthy. (10/2023)

A polished style, this delivers a core of gently mulled plum and warm cassis notes wrapped in tobacco leaf and carried by a loamy accent through the finish, picking up light violet and singed vanilla details along the way. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2030. 510 cases made.

Only available in magnums, the 2019 The Ultimate is composed of 62% Cabernet Franc and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it needs considerable coaxing to unlock fragrant notions of fresh black and red cherries, warm cassis and ripe plums, plus hints of pencil lead, Indian spices and crushed rocks. Full bodied, it is super concentrated in the mouth with firm, grainy tannins to support and seamless freshness, finishing long and multilayered.
