Robert Parker Score: 95 points
Reviewer: Erin Larkin — June 2022 Week 216 Jun 2022
Drink 2022–2037
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon has an intensity in the mouth that comes from concentrated, ripe, balanced fruit, not from an effort to extract tannin via oak or maceration. This is framed by prominent tannin, but it does so in a very natural, easy way. It is supple, pliable, chewy (good) and flexible in the mouth, resplendent with raspberry, pomegranate, cassis and hints of saltbush and juniper.
