Kelham Sons Red Wine Blend Oakville AVA Napa California 2019

Since the late 1990s, Kelham Vineyards has embodied the power and elegance that made Napa an international benchmark. Drawing from Oakville's celebrated soils, every release continues the tradition of excellence that defines this renowned region. Structured and complete—blackberry, dark cherry and graphite layered with cocoa and savory herbs. Fine-grained tannins and “crunchy” acid tension give focus; the blend skews Merlot-led (60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc) for plush mid-palate and poise. “The 2019 SONS is an impressively built red, offering both the fine-grained tannin structure and crunchy acid tension that are hallmarks of the vintage—particularly from producers who navigated the even-keeled growing season and warmer end to harvest with skill. Dark and black-fruited, the wine is layered with expressive cedarwood notes and a rich, solid core imbued with dark cocoa nuances, hints of walnut husk, sagebrush, and crushed graphite. The finish is long and ever-lasting.” – 95 Points, Decanter Magazine Drink Now through 2040
