There was a lot done in the vineyard in 2017 to mitigate some of the vagaries of weather, and as a result, the production this year was significantly reduced. However, most importantly, the purity of the fruit and resolution of tannin was absolutely achieved, and the 2017 Stevens Road Cabernet Sauvignon remains incredibly fresh today. This may sound like a pointless observation, given the wine is only five years old at this point, however many Cabernets have already started to move into very tertiary spaces, proving that in "challenging/variable" years such as 2017, it is important to be selective. This has years left to go. Fine slippery tannins. Floral.
