2019 Taplin Terra 9 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L
The 2019 Taplin Terra 9 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L is a large-format presentation of Taplin's signature red blend — the celebrated Terra 9 — from a vintage now revealing the full depth and complexity that has always been latent within it. The Terra 9, a blend assembled from nine distinct terroir blocks across the Taplin estate, has earned its reputation as one of Napa Valley's most compelling and personality-driven proprietary reds, and the 2019 vintage is a particularly accomplished chapter in its story. In the generous 1.5L magnum format, which naturally promotes slower, more measured development, the 2019 Terra 9 has evolved with grace and poise: aromas of dark cherry, cassis, graphite, violet, cedar, mocha, and earthy spice weave together seamlessly, while the palate is full-bodied, beautifully structured, and wonderfully generous, with tannins now integrating into silky refinement and a finish of impressive length and complexity.
Best enjoyed now through 2032, the 2019 Taplin Terra 9 1.5L is ideal for a special celebration or as a gift for the serious wine lover. Decant generously and serve at 65°F alongside dry-aged beef, slow-roasted lamb, or an impressive feast that calls for a wine of this ambition and character.
