50% off
$150 $75  / 750 mL

Tasting Notes

A fabulous expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine draws you in with aromas of dark, ripe fruit and oak spice. On the palate, lush flavors of plum and currant rest alongside hints of mocha and dried blueberry. Robust, plush tannins support these bold flavors and give way to a long, persistent finish.

“Ripe-blackberry, cooked black-cherry, roasted-coffee, dried-earth and chocolate aromas. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Round and caressing with a velvety, chocolatey finish.”

“The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Borrow Pit Vineyard comes from a site in Oakville and was brought up in 91% new oak. It’s a beauty, offering a plush, full-bodied style as well as lots of plum and currant fruits, notes of tobacco, chocolate, and leafy herbs, a seamless mouthfeel, and an upfront, undeniably delicious style that’s going to evolve for 10-12 years.”

      Vintage Notes
      An exceptional vintage, the 2018 season started with a cool spring that delayed flowering but fruit set was fine and even. With few exceptions, Summer was moderate, sunny and dry without major heat spikes. The fine weather continued on through the Fall, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to hang longer on the vine to develop flavors and achieve phenolic ripeness without additional sugar accumulation, resulting in beautiful structure, intense color, concentration of fruit and excellent balance in the wines.
