2019 Pym-Rae, Tesseron Estate, Napa Valley
From the Tesseron family of Château Pontet Canet in Bordeaux, Pym Rae is their Napa outpost. It has all the hallmarks of great Napa Cabernet with bold blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, along with sweet baking spices, creamy vanilla, and wild herb aromas. There's a finesse and building concentration in the 2019 vintage, which is arguably the best we've tasted from this estate.
