The color of this Keenan Cabernet is a deep ruby, which gives a hint of its robust flavor. The aroma is complex, with notes of blackberry, black olive, and a touch of graphite. As you bring the glass closer, you’ll notice the scent of cassis and black cherry, which add a fruity element to the nose.

When it comes to taste, this Robert keenan wine has a full body with a dense and rich flavor profile. The wine is structured and balanced, showcasing remarkable depth. The initial burst of flavors includes dark fruits like blackberry and cassis. The mid-palate is balanced, thanks to the grapes from Pope Valley, which contribute to the wine’s smooth and elegant finish. The wine has a solid structure, with tannins that are firm but turn silky on the finish, leaving a lasting impression.

The Keenan Cabernet Sauvignon wine was fermented for ten to fourteen days and then aged in a mix of French and American oak barrels for twenty months, with a third of the barrels being new. This aging process contributes to the wine’s complexity and richness. The blend was carefully assembled just before bottling, ensuring that the wine achieves its balanced and deep character.

Critical Acclaim

WA 91

Wine Advocate

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.

James Suckling

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.

Vinous

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is terrific. A bust of savory Cabernet aromatics opens first. Deep and persistent, the Cabernet is full of character from start to finish. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, leather, tobacco, menthol and pine all open in the glass. This mid-weight, classically built wine is beautifully rendered.
