Tasting notes
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Acre is another graceful, elegant wine from this estate. Beautiful cassis, graphite, damp earth, chocolate, and tobacco notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, with an elegant texture, silky tannins, and a great finish. It reminds me of a terrific Saint Julien with its purity and elegance. It will hit its stride in 4-5 years and keep for 15-20.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Three Acre is a pretty big wine by David Arthur standards. A rush of black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, spice, menthol and tobacco races across the palate as this sumptuous, bold Cabernet Sauvignon shows off its considerable allure. Readers looking for a Napa Valley Cabernet that can be enjoyed young will find plenty to like here. This is a fabulous showing.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Three Acre opens up beautifully in the glass. Ample, creamy and resonant, the Three Acre is decidedly somber. Black cherry, plum, spice, licorice and menthol all flesh out effortlessly. In 2018, the Three Acre is decidedly powerful, with notable energy and tons of personality.
