Tasting notes
The larger appellation 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley checks in as 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, and 3% Cabernet Franc. It's a solid value offering lots of classic Napa Cabernet dark, cassis and currant-like fruits as well as plenty of spice, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and loamy earth nuances. These carry to a ripe, medium to full-bodied, plush Cabernet with sweet tannins and a solid 10-15 years of prime drinking ahead of it.

Composed of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec and 3% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon rolls out of the glass with open-knit notions of plum preserves, black and red currant jelly and clove oil with hints of pencil lead and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers great tension with bags of crunchy black fruits and a firm, grainy texture, finishing long and savory.
