Expert Reviews
Expressive, layered, and powerfully aromatic, leading with high-toned capsicum, black fruits, black olives, and liquorice. Perfumed crushed violets flood the palate, framed by giant beam-like tannins that are perfectly compact, forming a solid base of structure around which is woven a tapestry of blackberry and black cherry fruits nuanced by utterly intriguing exotic brown baking spices, cedarwood and a hint of clove, anise powder and the zest of blood orange and composed of Cabernet Sauvignon and fourth-leaf Cabernet Franc grapes from the Bettanelli family’s Upper Range vineyard in the lower Vaca Mountain hills northeast of Rutherford along with Merlot from Blair, Realm Stags Leap District estate and Farrella vineyard.
The 2019 The Falstaff is composed of 50% Cabernet Franc (from Upper Range vineyard), 38% Cabernet Sauvignon (from Houyi vineyard) and 12% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with vibrant cassis, redcurrant jelly and black raspberries, plus suggestions of pencil shavings, red roses and dusty soil with a waft of clove oil. Full-bodied, the palate delivers a very firm, yet fantastically ripe backbone of grainy tannins and an exhilarating breath of freshness to support the generously fruited mid-palate, carrying the red and black fruit layers to a long, mineral-sparked finish.
