Julien Fayard's first made Le Pich in 2011; this vintage is sourced from vineyards in Oak Knoll, Rutherford and Coombsville. Enticing dark cassis aromas with rich cedar oak and chocolate. Robust cedary oak tannins on the weighty palate gives more structure than previous years and offers excellent tension and grip. Promising.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Pich is a terrific introductory-level wine from Julien Fayard. A rich, opulent wine, Le Pich offers up a compelling mélange of black cherry, plum, chocolate, cloves, new leather and licorice. This bold, sumptuous Cabernet delivers the goods, big time. The 2019 is one of the best editions of Le Pich I can remember tasting.

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Pich pops with vibrant notes of crushed blueberries, kirsch and boysenberries, plus hints of spice cake and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, softly textured and packed with spicy black fruits, it finishes with impressive length.

A fragrant nose of blackcurrants, ripe berries, dark cherries, candied walnuts and sweet spices. Full body with tight-grained tannins. Fruity and vivid.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Le Pich is a total charmer, offering lots of black and blue fruits as well as notes of chocolate and leafy herbs. Drink this medium-bodied, round, impressively textured Cabernet Sauvignon over the coming 5-7 years.
