My Favorite Neighbor Harvey & Harriet Paso Robles 2019

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "As to the reds, the 2019 Harvey and Harriet can be thought of as the more approachable, lush red in the lineup, and it always seems more black fruit-driven than the straight Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberries, sweet tobacco, cedar, and some floral violet nuances define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a beautiful texture and silky tannins. It’s a smoking value, and while it has plenty of up-front charm, it certainly has a decade or more of overall longevity. (9/30/21)"

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a study of darkness from the front to back. The wine begins with charred meat, packed violet, elderberry-paste and straight-up charcoal aromas on the nose. The palate pairs dried meat with black, almost bitter fruits, all clinging to a very firm structure. Alcohol 14.2%. (Dec 2021)"

Producer notes: "77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Petite Sirah, 3% Syrah, 1% Malbec. 2019’s abundant winter rain and a long, moderate growing season allowed for extended hang times and exceptional fruit quality. The 2019 My Favorite Neighbor features a complex nose of red cherry, current and raspberry along with wild herbs, violets, and just a hint of toasted marshmallow. On the palate, generous flavors of black cherry, ripe plum, and fig compote is joined by notes of medium roast coee and crème brûlée. The extremely long and mineral finish is characterized by a hefty structure and luxurious, silky tannins. Alcohol 14.4%."
