Crafted by the distinguished winemaker Mark Herold, the Mark Herold Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2019 is a remarkable expression of the Oakville Ranch’s unique terroir in Napa Valley. This wine, with its near-perfect growing season, showcases Mark Herold Wines’ commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character.
The 2019 Oakville greets the eye with an opaque, jewel-toned purple, a visual testament to its depth and richness. This vibrant hue sets the stage for the complex sensory experience to follow.
On the nose, this Herold Cabernet Sauvignon unveils a heady and decadent bouquet, a layered aromatic journey starting with notes of black raspberries, fresh black currants, and black cherries. It further unfolds to reveal graphite, violets, and sagebrush, intertwined with dark chocolate. As the wine breathes, it reveals more intricate elements, including crushed rock, espresso bean, lavender, and mountain chaparral, each layer adding to its aromatic complexity.
The palate of the Mark Herold Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is rich with a bounty of purple and black fruits, encompassing black licorice and tantalizing minerality. The wine demonstrates a perfect interplay of firm tannins and acidity, resulting in a delicious expression of the east Oakville hillside. The palate is marked by an ethereal, restrained opulence, hinting at the wine’s tremendous aging potential. Decanting is recommended when enjoying it in its youth to fully appreciate its evolving character.
Garnering a 95-point rating from Vinous, the 2019 Oakville Ranch is described as a full-throttle, opulent wine that encapsulates the personality of the Oakville site. It is lauded for its intense, inky dark fruit flavors, complemented by notes of licorice, menthol, lavender, and spice, all balanced by the bright acids typical of the site.
The grapes for this exquisite wine come from Oakville Ranch, Napa Valley. The wine is aged for 20 months in 80% new French oak, enhancing its depth and complexity. With only 80 cases produced, the rarity of this wine is reflected in Herold wines prices, affirming its status as a sought-after collector’s item.
Released in September 2022, the Mark Herold Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2019 is not just a wine but a reflection of the unique climate and soil conditions of Oakville Ranch. The long, warm summer of 2019, punctuated by foggy mornings, set the stage for creating vibrant and expressive wines. The finish of the season was mild, facilitating long hang times that imbued the grapes with finesse and freshness.
