Vinous 94:
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley) is rich and explosive out of the glass. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, leather, licorice and a host of earthy notes flesh out in an expansive wine endowed with tremendous depth and complexity. This is such a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon.
The winery says:
The greatest SYV Cabernet we have yet to produce, the 2018 balances its power and intensity with great texture and structure. Loaded and complex with aromas and flavors of cherry, cassis, roasted herbs, chocolate, vanilla, and earth, the 2018 has amazing balance and length, with great acidity and very ripe smooth tannins. A knockout!
Absolutely luscious now, the winery says this will age through 2035+.
