Signorello Padrone 2019
Napa Valley, California, United StatesPadrone 2019 is an 86/8/3/3 mix of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot and malbec selected from the best blocks on the estate's rocky volcanic hillside soils. The winery mantra is the storyline of Padrone: finesse with power. It is texturally rich and packed with dense, sweet tannins. It displays the estate vineyards' sublime terroir, plentiful black fruit, licorice, espresso and subtle underlying floral/mineral notes. Padrone is wild fermented and spent 18 months in 55% new French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. 2019 marked the arrival of Priyanka French, Celia Welch and Steve Mathiasson, and the changes, while subtle, are welcome: a slightly leaner style and fresher length. A cooler fall allowed for more hangtime, and the phenolics and acid levels are perfect. This is an excellent Napa cabernet.Tasted: 30 September 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| CDN | $320.00 | 750ml | estimated market price in Canada |
