| Description: | Winemaker NotesThe nose of this wine is layered and multi-faceted, explodingwith savory aromas of cedar, coffee, bay laurel, eucalyptus,rosemary, pine/oak forest, chaparral, and sage, all lifted by acaptivating floral perfume redolent of iris and violets. Blue fruitaromas of blackberries and blueberries linger in the background,gradually evolving into notes of loam and clay. In the mouth, thewine shows its incredible energy and vibrancy, power anddensity. The flavors mirror the aromas of mouthwatering savorynotes reverberating with fresh acidity. The wine and the tanninsare dense, yet the tannins are super fine grained and resolveeffortlessly in the mouth.Critical AcclaimVinous - 100ptsThe 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is just as magnificent as it was last year. Dark, sensual and enveloping, the 2018 possesses off the charts intensity and fabulous balance. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, spice and licorice all build over time, but it is the wine's mind-blowing intensity and pedigree that are once again so alluring. The 2018 is quite simply regal. Best after 2026.Wine Spectator - 97ptsA lush and inviting style, with gorgeous, velvety waves of cassis, steeped plum and warmed blackberry preserves rolling along, underscored with black licorice and roasted vanilla throughout. The finish is seriously deep and long, with a subtle tug of warm loam lingering with the fruit. Hard to lay off now for its fruit, but this has loads in reserve for the cellar. Drink now through 2040. |
