Score 94/100 · Drink 2024-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Shale marries power with elegance. A rush of purplish/black cherry fruit, cloves, lavender and licorice lends explosive energy to this dark, imposing Cabernet Sauvignon. Huge tannins wrap it all together. Even with its obvious power, the Shale Cabernet is exceptionally well balanced.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Shale is gorgeous. Deep, pliant and aromatically expressive, the Shale Cabernet has a lot going on. Sage, mint, cedar, rose petal, licorice and spice add a brilliant aromatic upper register to play off the fruit. The 2018 is deep and powerful, as all these wines are, but it also possesses tremendous purity from start to finish.
