The Memento Mori Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is another wine that will be a candidate for perfection in 7-8 years, it comes from a mix of sites (Dr. Crane, Las Piedras, Vine Hill Ranch, Weitz and Oakville Ranch) and spends 22 months in new barrels. Reminding me of the 2016, it has remarkable purity in its cassis and darker fruits as well as some obvious minerality, full-bodies richness, perfect balance and building, subtle nots of violets, graphite and chocolate. A brilliant wine, hide bottles for 4-6 years and enjoy over the following two decades of more.

The Memento Mori Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and deep garnet-purple in colour. It opens somewhat reluctantly with cedar and baking spice scents; eventually giving way to a tantalizing core of Black Forest cake, blackcurrant cordial and candied violets with a waft of black raspberries. The tightly wound, medium to full-bodied palate is taut with ripe black fruits and a fine-grained textured. This delivers loads of perfumed layers on the long finish. Stunning. Drink date: 2023 – 2048. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Winemaker Sam Kaplan sources from a range of stellar sites, many of them Beckstoffer, but also Vine Hill and Oakville Ranch. Together, they combine into a force of nature that is crisp and structured in red and black currant, coffee bean & toasted oak. These flavours provide warmth, length & complexity. This powerful, structured and ultimately graceful wine will do well in the cellar; enjoy best 2029–2039. Virginie Boone
