Tasting notes
Made by Thomas Rivers Brown and all Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville sports a dense purple color to go with beautiful notes of blackcurrants, scorched earth, chocolate, and tobacco leaf. With full-bodied richness, it stays tight and compact on the palate (which is common in 2018) and has impressive concentration, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish. Give bottles 3-5 years and enjoy over the following 15-20+.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville was made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and was aged for 20 months in 100% new French oak. Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, it sings of warm cassis, baked black cherries and mulberries with a beautiful undercurrent of fragrant earth, menthol, crushed rocks, candied violets and cedar chest. The full-bodied palate has wonderful intensity, features tons of bright, crunchy, black fruit layers and lots of perfumed nuances, supported by a solid backbone of ripe grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with fantastic length and energy. Very impressive!
