Note di degustazione
Blended with the addition of 9% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is an instant success. The nose is wrapped in gorgeous, complex aromas of cigar box, pencil shavings and graphite followed by dark red fruits, blackberry and oak spices tied to spicy florals. Full-bodied, the wine is layered, precise and finessed on the palate, with gobs of picturesque black fruit flavors and elegant oak tones that give way to a firm mineral tension and fine-grained tannins. This will remain food-friendly well past its 20th birthday and is a masterclass of what Washington Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve. Bravo!

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is more expensive and is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, and 5% Merlot, aged 23 months in 45% new French oak. Its similar ruby/plum color is followed by a Margaux-like bouquet of red and black currants, tobacco leaf, graphite, and spicy oak. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant mouthfeel, some chalky minerality, top-notch balance, and a great finish. It's going to benefit from 3-4 years in the cellar and cruise for 20-25 years if stored correctly.
