Inky and opulent to the core, the Stanton 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon certainly makes an impression. Jammy red fruit, wild flowers, mint, sweet spice, lavender and rose petal are all dialed up in this flamboyant wine.

Reasonably priced for an Oakville Cab, Stanton's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon combines cedar, dark-fruit notes of cassis and black cherries and dusty earth. It's full-bodied, plush and inviting, with briary notes and lingering hints of dark chocolate and baking spices on the finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific Oakville Cabernet offering that classic hint of iron and tapenade of the region as well as chocolaty red and black fruits, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a lush, layered mouthfeel that makes this a joy to drink. It should keep nicely for a decade.
