The 2018 Scotsdale Cabernet Sauvignon is savory and spiced, with pencil shavings, whiffs of carpentry workshop, cassis, bramble, five spice and aniseed. This is more tertiary spice and pepper than it is is abundant red/black fruits, and from such an ample year, one may rightly expect more fruit concentration. However, this may take a couple more years to evolve into a middle-aged wine, which is where one expects this will shine.
