Merryvale Profile Napa Valley Red 2019 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Professional Ratings

Wine Spectator

“A lush, dark and slow-moving wine, offering a steady wave of mulled black currant and steeped blackberry flavors, with roasted vanilla, loam and tobacco leaf notes. The muscular finish is a touch stolid now, but there's depth. This is worth cellaring to let the Cab Franc component unwind a bit more. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2036. 823 cases made.”

Highlights

99% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Cabernet Franc from the estate, aged 23 months in 80% new barrels. Aromas and flavors of cassis, currants, black cherries and dark chocolate with cocoa and graphite notes, hints of cedar, vanilla, dried thyme and lavender, charcoal and roasted espresso accents; supple, integrated tannins, minerality and a long, savory finish.

Merryvale Profile Napa Valley Red 2019

A blend of 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc that reflects the best of the Profile Estate in a fantastic vintage. Powerful and rich with a refined balance, it delivers classic notes of currants, cassis, and cocoa, complemented with hints of minerality. The tannins are supple and beautifully integrated, and the finish is long and rewarding. A savory, seductive wine that will improve over the next 25+ years.

Critical Acclaim

97 Jeb Dunnuck

The flagship from Merryvale is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Profile, a blend of 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc that’s all from the estate vineyard and spent 23 months in 80% new barrels. Just classic Napa Valley Cabernet goodness, with lots of cassis and currant fruits, notes of spice, graphite, and chocolate, full-bodied richness, and great overall balance, it’s impeccably made and well worth seeking out. I can’t imagine it not evolving for 25+ years if well stored.

96 Wine Enthusiast

This massively structured and intensely flavorful wine is one for the cellar, as its firm tannins and deep black fruit flavors are impressive now but will only get better integrated and lead to more complex flavors with time. The wine is rich in black cherries, blueberries and dark chocolate.

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Offered another opportunity to taste the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Profile, how could I refuse? Framed by cedar and vanilla, the cassis and black cherries seem less dense and fudge-like than a year ago. It's still a full-bodied, broad, generous wine, intense without being overly heavy and overall nicely balanced.

92 James Suckling

Black fruits, dark chocolate, dried thyme and lavender on the nose. Some charcoal and roasted espresso. Full body with plush tannins. Rich and creamy with a deep core of dark fruit and chocolate. Drink from 2023.
