2018 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

Big, expressive, powerful, and robust, this Cabernet is classic Oakville, exhibiting remarkable depth and complexity, tributes of the cooler western bench location in the valley. A richness of dark berry fruit is present, with dark black cherry, marionberry, blueberry and black raspberry, supported by more savory, earthy notes of wild sage, hazelnut, graphite, crushed granite, and tar. Exceptional concentration, seamlessly crafted, with generous balance, and mouth-coating, velvety tannins that are well-integrated with the oak spice, leading to a long unctuous finish with incredible depth of flavor and intensity. Craving big, meaty dishes, this Cabernet is perfectly paired alongside steak, but also drinks beautifully on its own. Full-bodied with tremendous structure that will continue to open and evolve as it ages, over many years to come.
