Brooding and deeply structured, with broad blackberry, espresso and dusty herb flavors that gather tension toward broad-shouldered tannins. Best from 2023 through 2032. 575 cases made.

Instantly impressive in the glass, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and 4% Syrah and first shows off its oak structure from 100% new French oak with brown baking spices that overflow from the glass. Fresh, dark, juicy berry notions waft with a firm, generous nature with soft elements of black peppercorn and roasted plums. Full-bodied and with a complex, generous structure, the palette displays impeccable flavors of spiced plum compote, black cherry skin, blackberry jus and elements of crème de cassis and dried violets. The mid-palate gives way to a firm tannic structure that will need additional time in the bottle to settle but already shows great aging potential. Concluding with a long, lingering and evolving finish, persistent flavors of fresh, ripe blackberries remain on the palate with flavors of oak and maple with a subtle element of dried sage. Give it one more year after it's released before opening, and decant at least 30 minutes before enjoying. The wine rested for 20 months in all-new French oak before being bottled and was left to rest for an additional 14 months in bottle prior to release. Just under 7,000 bottles were filled. You'll want to add this to your shopping list when it's released later this fall. Bravo!
