Lavish oak aromas of cinnamon, cloves, and cedar lead to well-saturated black fruit and smoky, cedary flavors in this full-bodied wine that is wrapped in fine-grained tannins. Aged in all-new French barrels. Best from 2026.

Quite a dense and compact cabernet sauvignon, showing a wealth of blackberries, dark cherries, black chocolate and cigars on the nose. Tight and concentrated on the palate, filled with juicy blackberries and compact, chewy tannins. Needs time to soften. Better from 2025.

More expensive, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is a bigger, richer wine offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, currants, licorice, and graphite, with nicely integrated oak. With plenty of mid-palate depth, velvety tannins, and outstanding length, drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years as well.
