A polished and inviting style, with warm cassis and gently mulled plum fruit flavors gliding through atop pretty mocha, singed vanilla and loam accents, while a gentle savory echo adds range through the finish. Approachable now, but there's no rush. Drink now through 2032.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Rich, inky and wonderfully deep, the 2018 packs a serious punch. A blast of inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, licorice and menthol give the 2018 so much immediacy. Dollops of Charbono, Petite Sirah and Merlot add juiciness. This is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

Moving to the 2021s, there are roughly 20 thousand cases of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, and it's well worth drinking. Ripe red and black fruits, medium body, fine, polished tannins, and some classic chalky minerality, spring flowers, and graphite notes all make for an outstanding, satisfying Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years.
