2019 Titus Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley

Titus Vineyards is the ultimate Wine Access favorite, and after nearly two decades and 137 wines offered, here’s what Wine Access members know: When you pay $30 for a Titus wine, you get $60 quality. When you pay $50, you can expect $100.

The 2019 Titus Reserve Cabernet proves that when you shell out for their flagship wine from one of the greatest Napa Valley vintages in the last decade, you get a plush, dark, deep-fruited Cabernet that stands with Napa Valley’s absolute best—wines that leave the triple-digit price threshold in the dust.

Jeb Dunnuck called Titus’s 2019 Reserve a “brilliant” Cabernet that “certainly plays above its price point.” Made from a careful selection of their best fruit, aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak, it’s ruby-black in color, broad and rich and polished on the palate, and it deserves a spot alongside the most collectible wines in your cellar. 

Titus produced their first Reserve Cabernet in 2002—just 50 cases. Now the production has leveled off at just 400 cases, which is limited by the size of the Ehlers Lane vineyard that produces the core of this bottling. A fantastic vintage made the 2019 an all-time great.

“Following a pretty decent rain year, it was stress-free through the summer from all the water in the soil, and we didn’t get oppressive heat. It was seamless in the late season, with a warm and long October for ripening, and no disruptive weather like in ‘18.” Eric Titus paused as he considered the superb back-to-back vintages. “They’re both good, but one has to be better—and that’s the ‘19.”
