Kenzo Cabernet Blend Napa Rindo 2019
Destined to be another BIG collector favorite, this new 2019 edition features ULTRA velvety tannins and rich dark fruit. Hints of Toblerone chocolate, caramel, and espresso bean combine with notes of pipe tobacco on finish. Pair this gem with a juicy steak tonight (decant prior to 2024) and enjoy the thrill ride through 2030!. Worthy of 97 points now and likely 98 points in a few years.
Kenzo Estate Winery
Kenzo Tsujimoto first achieved success as the founder of Capcom, a Japanese developer and publisher of video games. During that time, he became enchanted with the Napa Valley after the historic 1976 Judgment of Paris, which launched Napa Valley wines onto the world stage. As Capcom’s business expanded into the United States, Kenzo sought a serene location to offer an outdoor alternative to the company’s indoor electronic sporting business. His affinity for California wine country and vision to build an outdoor retreat led him to a 3,800-acre mountain valley in Napa’s southeast corner.
