Fortunate Son Description
Pure, total power and darkness. Sourced from a single, small, family-owned vineyard and aged for 24-30 months in the finest French oak barrique. The stave wood is hand-selected for ultra-tight grain, then air dried for three years before being made into barrels.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is riveting stuff, offering an incredible array of sweet darker currants, tobacco leaf, lead pencil, and classy oak. It's a big, rich wine, yet it's not over the top and has a semi-opaque purple hue, medium to full body, seamless tannins, and a layered, silky, incredibly satisfying style that's going to evolve for two decades.
James Suckling: 97 Points
Aromas of dark berries, chocolate, terra-cotta and bark. Full and layered with fine velvety tannins that give a juicy and intense finish. Delicious all around. From the owner of Napa’s Hundred Acre winery. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
Across the board, the 2019s at this address are riper and plusher than the 2018s, and Fortunate Son's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior is no exception. Black cherries and red cherries join cedar and vanilla shadings on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is expansive and plush, turning velvety on the long finish.
