The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a powerful, driving wine. Inky red raspberry jam, rose petal, iron, game, cedar and tobacco give the 2018 a good bit of aromatic savoriness. Here, too, the tannins need time to soften. The intense floral qualities of Clone 337 Cabernet are very much in evidence.
Product Description:
Winemaker Julien Fayard has achieved a vibrant yet balanced representation of Napa Valley's amazing terroir with the 2018 vintage of Rubia Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine displays a delicate nuance of raspberry, blackberry and stewed blueberry, combined with the essence of nutmeg and cloves. This wine is structured, yet soft, with integrated tannins.
