The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Fission is terrific, with classic Cabernet cassis and darker currant fruits as well as lots of minerality, lead pencil, and tobacco-like aromas and flavors. I love its purity of fruit, and it has fine yet present tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish. This gorgeous Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon will evolve for at least 15 years.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Fission emerges from Alta Vista, on Moon Mountain. A dark, potent wine, the 2019 captures plenty of mountain energy in its savory, earthy flavor profile. Dark cherry, mocha, spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate all flesh out. My impression is that less new oak and longer élevage might bring out even more character. This is certainly an impressive debut from Mai Errazuriz and Rodrigo Soto
