Note di degustazione
A step up from the blended Napa Valley Cab, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) has been bottled on its own since 2015. Sourced from a vineyard adjacent to Highway 29, it's earthier and dustier, more savory in style, but it still retains cassis and cherry fruit. It's full-bodied, firmly built and dense but with a bit of elegance as well and a long, softly tannic finish that hints at clove, cinnamon and lingering earth. At 550 cases produced, it's only available at the tasting room or online directly from the winery.

Aromas of blackcurrants, spearmint, licorice and lead pencil follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a fresh finish. Hints of chocolate and almonds. Really polished. Very drinkable now, but will age beautifully.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is packed with inky dark red fruit, cedar, tobacco, espresso, licorice and new French oak. This bold, luscious Cabernet offers tons of immediacy and appeal.
There are roughly 25,000 cases of the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, which is sourced from all over the valley. Certainly a beautiful wine worth seeking out (and it should be easy to find), it has ample ripe cherry and cassis fruits as well as spicy oak and tobacco nuances. This impeccably made, medium-bodied, elegant Cabernet will shine for a decade.
