Critic Review: The 2019 Unity is a blend of
premier valley floor fruit from St. Helena and Rutherford. A deep
purple-black color with a dynamic bouquet of stewed plums, melted
chocolate, licorice, and crème de cassis. This is a medium-bodied,
palate-pleasing wine with red berry fruit flavors layered with nuances
of cedar and a touch of mocha. The palate is densely packed with tightly
wound layers and the finish has stunning length and depth. -JCB Website
Wine Folly: pg. 88 I easily found the cherry and spice notes but not so much of the black currant. pg. 89 From California it's said to have notes of pencil lead and mint, which is quite interesting and I did not find it in this wine but will try to look out for it in the future!
My Review: Good!! This cab sav was a full deep red with all of the characteristics of a classic cabernet. I found blackberries and cherries in the aromas and I picked up some fruity and spice in the taste. I could not quite nail down the exact spice, but it was not too strong. I thought this a good wine and in the future I definitely need to pair it with some cheese or red meat to see how that changes the complexity of the wine!
I did not pair it with any food!
