Pangaea Wine Of The World 2019 750ml Case of 3

The 2019 Pangaea is the only vintage that needs more bottle age, probably another two years or so. The blend is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 21% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot and 15% Cabernet Franc. There is a patina of new oak to be subsumed into the lush, brambly red fruit that mingles with dark chocolate and bay leaf scents. The palate is well balanced, with rounded, fluid tannins. Despite its youth, the 2019 is never overpowering or fatiguing. The acidity upholds freshness, and the harmonious finish is stylistically equidistant from Napa and the Médoc. This is another classy vintage of Pangaea, but keep it cellared for the moment.
