2019 Ovid Proprietary Red Napa

(100 points) "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. Give it 4-5 years and enjoy over the following two decades." Jeb Dunnuck

(99 Points) - "The 2019 Ovid is positively stunning. Deep, translucent and absolutely thrilling in its balance, the 2019 captures all the best qualities of this site. The bottled 2019 is even better than the core blend barrel sample I tasted last year, likely the result of some tweaks at the end of élevage. The 2019 Ovid is without question one of the classiest wines of the year." Antonio Galloni

Winery Notes: The 2019 OVID Napa Valley reflects the pleasure and opulence of the long and nearly perfect growing season from that created it. This wine’s dense and powerful palate is complemented by freshness and vibrancy that give it tremendous poise. Expansive aromas of mulberry, fresh crushed raspberry, licorice, forest floor and pen ink are just beginning to tell the tale of a spectacular season.
