Produced from our Titus Ranch Estate Vineyard this Cabernet shows the balance and poise that is distinctive from our winery’s home vineyards. Aromatically the wine exhibits cherry, plum, and fig fruit aromas with lingering hints of baking spice, leather, and black tea. Vibrant and smooth on the entry the wine opens with red fruits, cherry hard candy, and berry compote that hold the fresh acidity in balance with fine grained tannins. Cigar box and Bing cherry meld with the rich texture and develop to coco powder and espresso on the finish where the wine lingers pleasantly.  Enjoy now through 2035.

The wine keeps freshness through the finish and lingers with purity and grace. Enjoy 2025-2039.

 The wine is showy and expansive in the glass with aromas of blueberry, black currant, dark fruit, espresso, milk chocolate, and a vibrant burst of black raspberry. Depth and polish without heaviness fill the palate with tannins that are broad, fine grained with pleasant grip and a note of cocoa powder. The wine is smooth through the finish, vibrancy and freshness filled with lingering berry, tobacco, crème brûlée and a pleasant warm toastiness. Enjoy 2027-2042.

The 2019 Titus Petite Sirah has beautiful aromas of berry compote, boysenberry syrup, cola, toasty oak and purple flowers.  The wine is mouth coating with a deep rich texture and viscosity.  Flavors of berry pie, blue fruits, cracked pepper, huckleberry and cola greet the palate as the wine rolls through to the finish.  Deep tannins give the wine structure and definition throughout the entire palate.  This wine should age exceptionally.  Enjoy from 2022-2031 and beyond.

A classic expression of Petit Verdot, the 2019 Titus shows off aromas of blueberry, exotic fruit, glove leather, violets and herbs de Provence.   The wine fills the palate with robust fine grain tannins that are rounded and draw out nuances of dark berry, cherry, rose water, fruit leather and anise.  Long and voluptuous the finish is underscored by toasty pie crust, dried sage and radiant spice box notes.  Enjoy now through 2034.

The 2019 Titus Lot 1 is a robust concentrated wine filled with depth and layers redolent of our favorite past Lot 1’s. The aromas are packed with blueberry, blackberry, chocolate, purple flowers and lingering leather and earth notes that give the bouquet a lifted finish. Rich and dark on entry the flavors fill the palate with cassis, dark berry compote, mocha and cherry cola with a melted down mouthcoating texture. The tannins have a pleasant grip with enough polish to help the wine glide to the finish with notes of lilac, cedar, and radiant warm toast. Enjoy 2025-2035.
