TASTING NOTES:
Looking at the base Cabernet, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon comes 70% from Napa and 30% from Sonoma. A wonderful nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, bouquet garni, baking spices, and dried tobacco gives way to a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced Cabernet that's very much in the balanced, fresh, classical style of the vintage. It's ideal for drinking over the coming 10-12 years, and it will probably last even longer. -Jeb Dunnuck, 91 pts.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is packed with blackberry jam, chocolate, new leather, spice and sweet French oak. This plush, exuberant Cabernet Sauvignon is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Today it is engaging and delicious. Best After 2023.- Vinous, 92 pts.
WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Black currant, Morello cherry, and just-ripe black mission fig dance with the aromas of sage, candied violets, star anise, and black truffle. The palate is dense and compact with incredible structure. Layers of complex black and red fruit fill the mouth, while sandalwood, bay, graphite, and forest aromatics linger with the velvety tannins on the long and dynamic finish. This is a showstopper! 70% Napa, 30% Sonoma
