Lively, with bay leaf and sassafras streaks racing through in lockstep with ripe cassis and plum puree notes, ending with a sleek, focused finish. Drink now through 2028.

A small addition of Petit Verdot adds to the full-bodied power of this wine, approachable in its well-integrated tannin and oak. Brawny blackberry and currant ride alongside mocha, vanilla and woody toasted notes.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of black currant pastilles, baked black cherries and mulberries plus suggestions of pencil shavings, potpourri and bouquet garni. The medium-bodied palate is soft and juicy, chock-full of expressive black berry flavors, delivering a lovely burst of freshness on the finish.
