Tasting notes
All varietal from a mix of top sites (Lewelling, Dr. Crane, and Stagecoach), the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley sports a vivid purple color to go with terrific cassis and blueberry fruits, full-bodied richness, a rounded, elegant mouthfeel, and solid notes of smoke tobacco and toasted spice. It’s going to gain a touch more complexity with short-term bottle age and keep for 15-20 years.

Made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Label is deep garnet-purple in color and features wonderfully pure, vibrant notes of fresh, ripe blackberries, red and black currants and boysenberries plus suggestions of violets, dark chocolate, unsmoked cigars and pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate coats the mouth with lively black and red fruits, supported with ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long and earthy. 279 cases were made.
