Black pepper and road-tar aromas lead to potent, superripe blackberries and good, grippy tannins in this full-bodied, generous and concentrated wine made from organic grapes. It combines power with grace as the midpalate and finish lighten up and bring out mint, cloves and cedar nuances. Best from 2028–2038.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is laced with dark cherry, plum, mocha, leather and spice. Pliant and inviting, this mid-weight Cabernet will drink well right out of the gate. The 2018 is beautifully done.

A medium-to full-bodied red with aromas and flavors of wild blackberries, dried tobacco, toasted walnuts and graphite. Firm, ultra fine tannins. Fresh and structured. Needs some time. Try from 2022.
