K Vintners "Roma" Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah 2019

Jeb Dunnuck : 92 Points

(7/9/2022) The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Roma is another outstanding wine. Based on 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Syrah, it has lots of classy red and black fruits as well as some Rocks funk in its notes of iron, black olive tapenade, and roasted herbs. Nicely textured on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and a satisfying, layered style perfect for drinking over the coming decade or more. Maturity: 2022 - 2033.

(10/2023) Dark and intense, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon-Syrah Roma bursts from the glass with a perfumed blend of cherry and raspberry preserves, complemented by autumnal spice. This is elegant and silky to the core, displaying enticing notes of sweet plum and dark chocolate, all elevated by vibrant acidity. The 2019 finishes with a coating of fine tannins and youthful tension, leaving nuances of licorice and clove to linger. The Roma is drop-dead gorgeous and sweetly seductive, impressive in its wonderful balance. This is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% whole-cluster Syrah from the River Rock Vineyard. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2032.

(2/10/2022) An inviting nose of ripe plum, blackberry, blackcurrant and fresh coffee. Medium-to full-bodied with stony mineral character. Velvety tannins. Vanilla and suede come through. Well balanced with good purity of fruit. 78% cabernet sauvignon and 22% syrah. Drink or hold.
