TOR Kenward Family Wines — Melanson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 — Pritchard Hill, Napa Valley. United States 🇺🇸

Overview:
A commanding expression of Pritchard Hill intensity and refinement, this single-vineyard bottling is driven predominantly by Cabernet Sauvignon with a small supporting blend typical of Bordeaux varieties. The wine captures Napa power in a polished, disciplined frame, balancing concentration, structure, and aromatic depth with serious aging intent.

Aromas & Flavors:
Intensely perfumed black cherry, cassis, mahogany, dried herbs, licorice, forest floor, and subtle dark spice.

Mouthfeel:
Dense and dry with authoritative structure, firm yet polished tannins, and layered concentration. Dark fruit, cocoa powder, tobacco, and mulberry build across the palate into a long, resonant, tightly coiled finish that promises evolution.

Food Pairings:
Dry-aged ribeye, herb-crusted lamb, short ribs, venison, mushroom risotto, aged hard cheeses, or truffle-forward dishes.

Personal Pick:
This is a wine I approach with intention, slow decant, big glass, no distractions. It’s thrilling now for its power and depth, but clearly built for long-term cellaring and future fireworks.

Verdict:
A serious, cellar-worthy Napa Cabernet delivering precision, authority, and pedigree. Best for collectors and structured wine lovers willing to exercise patience.

🍷 Did You Know?:
Pritchard Hill sits on volcanic soils high above Napa Valley, producing some of the region’s most structured, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, often rivaling cult-status bottlings for depth, minerality, and longevity.
