2019 Les Cousins (Vice Versa & L'Aventure) California Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L)

Bid on this magnum of 2019 Les Cousins (Vice Versa & L'Aventure) California Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L) (98JD, 95RP). Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Les Cousins emerges from a collaboration between Patrice Breton (Vice Versa) and Stephan Asseo (L’Aventure) and is a blend of two barrels each from To Kalon and the L’Aventure Estate Vineyard in Paso Robles. It’s 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 18 months in new French oak, and there are a tiny 200 cases produced. It’s a gorgeous wine offering pure cassis and blackberry fruit as well as notes of crushed stone, graphite, and savory herbs. Round and supple on the palate, it has some To Kalon opulence yet stays more focused (no doubt from the Paso Robles limestone soils) with beautiful tannins, a remarkable sense of freshness and purity, and a great finish. It will be almost impossible to find, but this is gorgeous any way you look at it. (JD)" (03/2022)
