Antinori Napa Valley 'Antica' Mountain Select Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California, USA 2019

Description

James Suckling 94

Lots of pretty blue fruit and purple flowers on the nose, with cocoa powder, walnut husk and plum stone too. Full-bodied with firm, broad tannins. Structured and concentrated with a clean, focused finish. Try after 2024.

Vinous 93

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Select is plush, succulent and super-expressive. Blackberry jam, spice, new leather and chocolate give this inky, opulent wine plenty of complexity. The 2019 is the most flamboyant wine I have tasted from Antica, where the Cabernets have typically been a bit more restrained than this.
