First impressions of wet crushed gravel and delicate spice are followed closely by an onrush of vibrant black fruits. Opulent and extroverted, the wine’s boldness and backbone of structure are strong enough to carry the essence of 100% new French oak yet still offer a touch of dust that hints at its proximity to Rutherford.

96 Points - Tasting Panel - "Aromas of black tea, espresso, and blackberry-kissed tree bark. Dark chocolate melts across the palate, with juicy waves of black cherry and baking spices. Tannins grip the tongue with a zing of black pepper, tobacco, and plummy cedar. — MM"

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuk - "The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is a bigger, richer wine offering full-bodied aromas and flavors of blackberries, currants, licorice, and graphite, with nicely integrated oak. With plenty of mid-palate depth, velvety tannins, and outstanding length, drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years as well."

92 Points - James Suckling - "Quite a dense and compact cabernet sauvignon, showing a wealth of blackberries, dark cherries, black chocolate and cigars on the nose. Tight and concentrated on the palate, filled with juicy blackberries and compact, chewy tannins. Needs time to soften. Better from 2025.— JS"
