Winemaker Notes

The 2019 OVID Napa Valley red wine is certainly their best effort yet. Perfectly ripe mulberry, bay laurel, cassis and red tobacco leaf intermingle with boysenberry, fresh plum, cerise and iodine. Beautifully balanced, this taut and powerful vintage delivers mouthwatering freshness, intensity and poise that will continue to reveal its many delightful layers for decades to come.

Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, Petit Verdot

Professional Ratings

100Jeb Dunnuck

Another perfect wine is the 2019 OVID, which is based on 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot. Incredibly perfumed, nuanced, and complex, it has ripe black and blue fruits as well as notes of gravelly earth, tobacco, lead pencil shavings, and truffle. Insanely pure, full-bodied, and perfectly balanced, with fine tannins, this is another heavenly wine from this team and offers everything you could want from wine.

98Decanter
It is a skyscraper of a wine, with power, energy, grace, and a savoury profile that belies its place under the ample California sunshine. Impressively fresh, with dark, youthful brooding aromas of inky black fruits intermingling with savoury fresh thyme and sage, crushed minerals, blue agave, and smoky cedar. Full-bodied and tension-filled with expressive boysenberry and plum fruits, balanced by the saturating power and unctuousness of just-crushed fresh-picked blackberries. The towering structure is composed of long and angular fine-grained tannins. The finish reveals a torrent of refined brown baking spices and more cedar with the tightly wound, coiled-up energy of a Napa Cabernet that will impress for decades. Simply put, wow.
96James Suckling

Red currants and lead pencil with roses. Medium-bodied and hemmed in, giving really fine and polished tannins that run the length of the wine. Firm and racy.

95Wine Spectator
This is packed with a range of steeped black currant, black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors that work together to form a well-built core, while underlying alder, warm earth and sweet tobacco nuances emerge steadily through the finish. Powerfully rendered and well-detailed...Best from 2024 through 2038.
