Tor Wines 'Black Magic' Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

98 Points Jeb Dunnuck

Based on co-ferments of Cabernet Sauvignon (76%), Petit Verdot (15%), and Cabernet Franc (9%), mostly from the To Kalon and Vine Hill Ranch vineyards, the 2019 Black Magic is a stunning wine that flirts with perfection, and I'd put it up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. It offers a kaleidoscopic array of red, blue, and black fruits, notes of sandalwood, graphite, iron, and tobacco leaf, full-bodied richness, silky tannins, and a monster of a finish. The balance here is spot on, it has the supple, round, classic 2019 mouthfeel, and while it's already a sensational drink, it's going to evolve for 25+ years. It's another incredible wine from this team.
