The 2019 Fatalis Fatum is mostly a 62/26 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc with about 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and a dollop of Petit Verdot for the rest, all aged for about 20 months in 44% new French barriques. It comes in at 13.5% alcohol. This is another fine Fatalis Fatum, probably a step up over the overachieving 2018, although both are not here today together. Beautifully constructed, it has focus and finesse, more than adequate concentration and ripe tannins for structure. It is a wine that doesn't seem to have a hair out of place while still seeming serious. It seems as if it can age well and develop much more, yet it is also drinkable today. Admittedly, it is just a little tight. The ripeness of the tannins makes it possible to knock back, though. Overall, this is a fine success, with the chance of further improvement for those who wish to cellar it a few years. There were 1,165 cases produced, plus some magnums. ... More details

Wine Spectator
Delivers direct plum and black cherry notes, which are lined with singed cedar and a flash of warm earth on the slightly rustic finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now. 1,165 cases made.
Winery
Dark red almost black in color. Classic ripe aromas fill the glass with hints of cassis, prunes, fine notes of tar, vanilla, iodine and toasted oak. The mouth-feel is rich with great layers of ripe tannin, wonderful soft fruit and fine acidity, making it a perfect balanced and especially well-suited wine to go with food. The finish is rich and long with ripe dried fruit and dark chocolate. This blend is a great statement for this region and will unfold for many years to come.

Region: New York

Whilst not as well known as certain other United States wine regions, the wines of New York state have plenty to offer, and are packed full of unique characteristics which are gaining popularity on both sides of the Atlantic. New York state enjoys a fine climate for the growing of certain Old World grape varietals – notably those from Germany and central France - and boasts a fine array of excellent hybrid grapes ideal for the cooler, damper weather the state receives. New York state also has a wine heritage which stretches back several hundred years, and certain regions within the area can be traced back to the original Dutch settlers from the 17th century. This mixture of history and innovation still effects the wine production which characterizes the region today, where you'll find traditional wine-making techniques sitting comfortably alongside modern technologies and palates.

Country: United States

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
