As in past vintages, we aged the 2019 Fluffy Billows in French oak barrels of just under two years, an approach that always complements the firm, cellar-friendly structure of our Oakville Cabernets. The deeply colored wine from this near-perfect vintage is a combination of spicy cherry and cassis notes on the nose and rich, blackberry-black currant fruit on the palate. Complex notes of cedar and cooking spice mingle elegantly with the abundant fruit. Right through its long finish, bright acidity balances the whole framework of fruit and tannin. Our '19 Fluffy Billows is a wine that will certainly continue to evolve in the cellar for a decade or two, but it also produced with immediate enjoyment in mind.
