Coming from all over the valley, the roughly 900-case 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stretch Drive has a more red-fruited, spicy, loamy earth, and cedar pencil-driven style as well as medium to full-bodied richness on the palate. Balanced, seamless, and already approachable, drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stretch Drive is a gorgeous, affordable Cabernet Sauvignon from Thomas Rivers Brown. Juicy dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice are all kicked up in this voluptuous, unapologetically exuberant Cabernet.
Winemaker Note
This vintage of Stretch Drive is another big winner, showing off a viscous, concentrated palate, and expressive, nuanced aromatics. In the glass, the wine exhibits a deep purple hue with a dark violet halo. Interwoven aromatic notes suggest currant, loam, pine bough and lilac. The palate experience offers a pleasing balancing act of dark, complex fruit and finely-integrated tannin. This bold fruit and structure are complimented by a bright acidity on the back end, drawing out to a long, floral finish.
