2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
In Stock
Winemaking Notes
Rich, lush and structured, the 2018 vintage displays intense aromas of black currant, cassis and crushed violet. This wine is velvety with a smooth, lingering finish of herbal notes, vanilla and cocoa. Enjoy this wine now with a grilled porterhouse, rack of lamb, or a winter vegetable roast or lay a few bottles down in your cellar to enjoy in 4 to 6 years.
Vineyard Notes
For our 2018 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, select areas within each vineyard are hand harvested, fermented separately and aged in the finest French oak. Each lot is tasted and graded and only the best are considered. The blend is then assembled, and the wine is aged 24 months before bottling.
Production Notes
The 2018 winter was much drier than usual but this vintage will be most remembered for its cool summer temperatures and lack of heat spikes. Daily highs in July and August peaked at 85F but, as the weather cooled and mist hung in the air, our decision to pick was delayed by almost four weeks past the previous year. This longer hang time resulted in larger yields and more complex favors as we
waited for the sugars to accumulate, with harvest taking place October 9-24.
