| Description: | Winemaker NotesThe warm growing season gave this wine it's rich and dark character. The nose is filled with black cherry, blackberry, cassis, and fig, which is perfectly complimented by the classic PlumpJack sage and mint. The palate is silky upon entry and opens up to juicy blackberry and black cherry. The balanced acid and well-integrated tannin give this wine energy and length and leads to a beautiful raspberry and spice finish.Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, 5% Petit VerdotCritical AcclaimJeb Dunnuck - 94ptsMoving to the two Cabernet releases, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is based on 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and the rest Petit Verdot, all from Oakville fruit. Promising yet restrained notes of ripe currants, tobacco leaf, sharpened #2 pencils, and chocolate give way to a full-bodied Cabernet that has sweet tannins, a layered, elegant texture, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. This rich, concentrated 2018 can be drunk today with ample pleasure or cellared for 15-20 years or more.Wine Spectator - 93ptsVery rich, with cassis, boysenberry and blackberry flavors gushing through. Refined along the edges, with fine-grained structure and subtle notes of loam, mint and sassafras chiming in. The vivid fruit easily keeps the upper hand through the finish. Best from 2023 through 2035. |
