Tasting notes
The 2018 Block 1 displays a deep ruby core with a magenta rim and offers aromas of spiced plum, dried currant and cassis before dusty black cherry and blackberry compote sway with elements of resinous purple flowers and brown baking spices. Full-bodied and generously layered, the Block 1 offers an approachable frame of juicy fruit before succulent, fine-grained tannins coat the mouth. The wine continues to evolve and somersault through the long, lingering finish, leaving elements of Christmas spice, plum preserves and a notion of potpourri on the palate. The wine spent 32 months in French oak—75% first fill. This which should be released in the fall of 2021. 8,400 bottles produced.

The brilliant 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Block One boasts a deep plum/purple color as well as classic Cabernet notes of darker currants, leafy tobacco, cedar, and chocolate. It shows the quality of the vintage on the palate and is pure, medium to full-bodied, and perfectly balanced, with both tannins and acidity. It shows the classic Sheridan darker, slightly herbal style and is going to benefit from 3-5 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.
