St. Supéry Description

RNDC

The 2019 Élu has an intense dark ruby color with ripe blackberry, blueberry, mocha, dried fig and crushed black pepper aromatics. The wine is full-bodied and layered with fine grain tannin structure and refinement. On the palate, the velvety texture highlights juicy black plum, cassis, dusty cocoa powder, and notes of roasted espresso with a lingering finish.

An array of ripe blackberries and blueberries, blue flowers, chocolate, licorice and pinewood. Some hazelnuts, too. Full body and a firm texture with fine-grained tannins and delicious fruit. Polished and refined with a lingering, velvety mouth-feel. Deep and long. Already really tasty. 71% cabernet sauvignon, 18% merlot, 5% cabernet franc, 3% malbec and 3% petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better in 2024.

While this isn't the priciest bottling in the St Supery lineup, the 2019 Proprietary Red Elu—a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Malbec and 3% Petit Verdot—comes across as the most elegant and complete this vintage. It's gently herbal and leafy on the nose but nicely complex, with blueberries and cherries alongside hints of cedar and vanilla. In the mouth, the wine is composed and refined, medium to full-bodied, silky and suave, ending on notes of dark chocolate and cola-like spice.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Elu checks in as 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and the final 1% Malbec. This fleshy, supple 2017 offers medium to full-bodied richness, just a hint of chewy tannins, and classic aromas of black cherry, currants, plums, incense, and chocolaty spice. It's nicely balanced, has plenty of fruit, and is going to keep for 10-15 years or more.
