Silky waves of blackcurrant, plum and dark cherry roll through Cardinale Red Blend 2019, edged by violet, cocoa and sweet cedar, giving a sense of both Napa power and lift. The structure is confident but refined, with fine, persistent tannins and bright acidity carrying a long, pure finish that hints at dark chocolate and warm spice. This vintage stands out for its poise—mountain intensity wrapped in an almost effortless elegance.

Cardinale’s Red Blend is a powerful, ageworthy Napa Valley Bordeaux-style wine, built primarily on mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon with a small proportion of Merlot to add suppleness and perfume. Sourced from top sites across Howell Mountain, Mount Veeder, Spring Mountain, Diamond Mountain and other AVAs, it’s known for dense black-fruit concentration, lavish but polished French oak, and a seamless, velvety structure that can evolve beautifully in bottle for decades.
