Winemaker’s Notes
Keenan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a distinguished example of Napa Valley’s renowned winemaking. The nose reveals a complex bouquet of dark fruits, including blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied with rich, concentrated flavors of dark berries, chocolate, and espresso, supported by well-structured tannins and a hint of spice from oak aging. The wine’s balanced acidity adds freshness and vibrancy, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering notes of dark fruit and a subtle earthy nuance. This vintage showcases the classic power and finesse of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, making it a compelling choice for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review – Rated 94:
Blackberry, black-olive and crushed-stone aromas. Graphite, too. Full-bodied with density and depth. Solid structure and richness. All estate cabernet sauvignon with 20% Pope Valley. 2023 release. Drink after 2025.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate Review – Rated 91:
Derived primarily from the estate’s Spring Mountain property, Keenan’s 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon includes a dollop of Pope Valley fruit as well. Hints of bay leaf accent cassis and black cherry fruit on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is nicely structured, with firm tannins that turn silky and elegant on the lasting finish.
