Note di degustazione
If I had to pick a wine that encapsulates the essence of Calistoga, it might very well be Kelly Fleming's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate. The darkness, the depth, the brawn, the pure power, the intense savoriness. It's all there in a majestic, explosive Cabernet that dazzles from the very first taste. Readers will have to be patient with the 2018, as it is going to need a number of years to settle down. Time in the glass brings out hints of blackberry, plum, grilled herbs, scorched earth, leather, sweet pipe tobacco and sage. Inky and spectacularly rich, and yet not at all overdone, the 2018 simply has it all. It's another tour de force from winemaker Becky George and proprietor Kelly Fleming. Don't miss it.

Winemaker Rebecca George crafted another sensational wine for proprietor Kelly Fleming with her 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep, rich and explosive, the 2018 possesses tremendous intensity and all of the muscle that is typical of wines from this sector of Calistoga. Gravel, licorice, espresso, scorched earth, sage and menthol all open up in the glass. More than anything else, the 2018 is powerful and yet super-classic. It may very well be the finest Cabernet George has made here. Wow!
