WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The classic cherry, berry and plum fruit characters that define the Bartolucci Vineyard are once again evident in this bottling. The wine is framed by a sense of warm, spice box characters, toast and vanilla. Concentrated and rich, this age worthy wine is quite enjoyable upon release and will easily continue to be delicious for another 10 years.
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
TASTING NOTES:
This is dark-fruited with lots of spices like cloves, cinnamon, anisette, hints of sweet tobacco and wet earth. Full-bodied with firm, slightly chewy tannins and a spiced, earthy aftertaste. Dry and chalky at the end.
- James Suckling, 93 pts.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bartolucci Vineyard is laced with the essence of raspberry jam, chocolate, licorice, mocha, dried flowers and mint. Drink this heady, exotic St. Helena Cabernet over the next decade or so.
- Vinous, 92 pts.
