    McGrail 2019 Clone 30 Cabernet Sauvignon (Livermore Valley)

    This potent, inky-dark wine is one of Livermore Valley's best Cabs. It shows classic black currant, black olive and mint aromas followed by well-concentrated black cherries, blueberries and dark chocolate on a firm texture of fine-grained tannins. It's McGrail's first vintage using Clone 30 from the Lucky 8 property. With great complexity, depth and structure, it seems poised for improvement with aging. Best from 2025–2035.
