The Amici Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates. From the moment it is poured, the deep ruby color and dense aromas of sweet vanilla cedar, rose petal, fresh currant, and plum captivate the senses.
On the palate, this full-bodied wine showcases a complex and powerful array of flavors. Dark chocolate, hoisin soy, and plush tannins are just a few of the notes that make this wine so unique. The floral and spiced nose accentuates the rich and sweet palate, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that is both bold and sophisticated.
The long and balanced finish is a testament to the wine's complexity and density, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.

Jeb Dunnuck Review - Tasted 3/10/2022 - Rated 92:
Made with the goal of great Napa Cabernet at $50 bucks, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley succeeds admirably, offering gorgeous cassis, violet, and chocolaty aromatics as well as medium to full-bodied richness, a balanced, layered mouthfeel, and silky tannins. It competes with wines at three times the cost. The blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged 20 months in 75% new barrels. - Jeb Dunnuck
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Issue 18th Mar 2021 - Rated 94:
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it charges out of the gate with loads of blueberry preserves and stewed black plums notes on the nose with faint suggestions of redcurrant jelly and rose hip tea plus a waft of wild sage. Full-bodied and jam-packed with ripe black and blue fruit, it has a soft texture and perfumed finish. 10,000 cases are due to be made. (Tasted as a barrel sample.) - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
James Suckling Review - Published December 5, 2021 - Rated 93:
Perfumed cabernet with aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, raspberries, thyme, violets, crushed stones and cloves. Full-bodied with firm, grainy tannins. Structured and concentrated. Better after 2023.
