This is a beautiful vineyard. My style of wine—a little restrained, a little more tannin, a little more structural. Not as silky, polished or plump as a lot of other Napa cabs. Right in my wheelhouse.” –Nigel Kinsman
Anjea, a fertility goddess in Australian Aboriginal mythology, represents the connectedness and respect for life and land that underpins traditional Aboriginal life. We see this reverence for nature reflected in the way the Bettinelli family farms Sleeping Lady Vineyard, the source of our cabernet sauvignon, Anjea.

Last of the 2019s, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Anjea (always 100% Clone 22 Cabernet Sauvignon) is more floral and aromatic, with perfumed red, blue, and black fruits as well as lots of floral, truffle, chocolate, and tobacco nuances. As with the other 2019s here, the balance is flat-out perfect, and the wine is medium to full-bodied, with ripe, polished tannins and a gorgeous finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Anjea Sleeping Lady Vineyard is the most sensual of the Kinsman Eades Cabernets, as it always is. Silky tannins wrap around a core of inky red fruit, blood orange, mint and crushed flowers. Classy and alluring the Anjea is a total knock-out. It's a tremendous example of Sleeping Lady and the vintage. Readers lucky enough to own it should be thrilled.

Sourced from the Bettinelli Family's Sleeping Lady Vineyard in Yountville, the 2019 Anjea offers up a bouquet of mixed cherries and complex baking spices, plus hints of mint and thyme. It's full-bodied, with crisp acids that serve to accentuate the wine's soft tannins, resulting in a slightly hard edge on the long, lingering finish. Give it a few years in the cellar.
