Tasting notes
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kenefick Ranch Vineyard captures all the intensity of this Calistoga site. Inky dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice, menthol and scorched earth build as this potent, beautifully layered, super-ripe Cabernet shows off its bold, racy personality. There is plenty to like here.

From a mix of clones 7 and Rubicon, the 150-case 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kenefick Ranch Vineyard sports a deep purple hue as well as a great bouquet of smoky black fruits, tobacco, chocolate, and gravelly earth. This rich, full-bodied beauty has building tannins, gorgeous purity of fruit, and a great finish. It's incredibly young but just loaded with potential. Hide bottles for 4-5 years and it will evolve for two decades or more.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kenefick Ranch Vineyard is rich and explosive, with all of the power and energy that make wines from this Calistoga site so distinctive. Iron, smoke, graphite, incense, scorched earth and dark fruit build in a virile, immensely promising Cabernet from Quivet.
