Tor Kenward of Tor Wines in Napa Valley talks with James about the 2019 releases and how they compare to 2018, which according to James was "an excellent year, and they made such beautiful wines."
"At this point in time, I think '18 might be the stronger vintage of the two," Tor said. "What I love about the '19s [is] the '19s have a little higher pH. Because of that, they're certainly generous early on... They're wines that I think are enormously pleasing right now where some of the '18s are still slightly hard and need a little more time."
