2018 saw early bud break, giving way to a cool spring and a generally even and warm growing season. Temperature surges during the final weeks of growth expedited harvest, making it one of the earliest harvests Napa Valley has ever had. With the drought enduring as a serious issue facing California, 2018 saw lower than expected yields. Though there are challenges that come with low yields, there is also the benefit of a higher concentration of flavor in each grape. 2018 wines are showing to be increasingly complex with wonderful, fruit forward aromatics and stunning depth of flavor.
Bold and complex, our 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich aromas of cedar box and dark fruit with subtle hints of baking spices. Concentrated flavors of mocha, plum, blackberry chutney and cocoa nibs lead to a rounded finish with velvety tannins.
