Tasting notes
More streamlined and elegant than the 2019 version, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace features a dusty-earth nose, with hints of red currants, cherries and cassis. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky and fine, not overly concentrated, rich or intense, just nicely balanced, with two decades or so of longevity.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace stands out in this range because of bright, savory-infused bouquet and overall energy. Medium in body, the Red Rock Terrace is all about energy and drive. There's plenty of power too, but it is expressive in more of a linear fashion. Bright red fruit, iron, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many nuances that start to develop with a bit of time in the glass.
