Easily the best vintage yet of this limited-production Cabernet, made entirely from $45 to $100 fruit. Winemaker Bill Knuttel says:
THE 2018 VINTAGE COUNTERFEIT CABERNET SAUVIGNON BEGINS WITH AROMAS OF BEAUTIFULLY INTEGRATED RIPE PLUM, VANILLA AND SWEET OAK. THE SMOOTH PALATE IS SLEEK AND UNDERSTATED, ELEGANT AND SLOW TO UNFOLD. WHAT FOLLOWS ARE LAYERS OF BOYSENBERRY JAM, DARK CHOCOLATE, CASSIS AND DRIED HERBS. THE LONG FINISH OF CARAMEL AND BUTTERY TANNINS MAKE THIS WINE AS WELL-BALANCED AS IT IS COMPLEX.
