2019 Pine Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
93 Points Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is lifted with graphite and pencil shavings, compact blackcurrant, and dried tobacco leaf. It has powerful mountain structure, with black plum skin, a bit of gamey iron richness, and dried herbs. It warrants several years in the cellar to tame its structure, and should be drunk between 2025 and 2040.
