Deep purple-black in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Steltzner Vineyard sings of licorice, charcuterie and Indian spices, over a core of crushed black cherries, warm cassis and baked plums, plus a hint of dried mint. The rich, full-bodied palate has a plush texture and soft acidity supporting the flamboyant black fruit preserves flavors, finishing long and spicy.

A new cuvée from this team, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Steltzner Old Vines comes from vines planted in 1981, and there are a scant 100 cases produced. It’s a textbook example of this great vintage, offering loads of tobacco, white flowers, and leafy herbs, full-bodied richness, loads of blueberry and cassis fruits, and a rich, opulent, sexy style that’s rare to find in the vintage. Made from 100% Cabernet aged 18 months in 75% new barrels, enjoy this classic Napa Valley red any time over the coming 20+ years.
