2018 BV Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Vintage: 2018
Country: USA
Region: Rutherford
Winemaker Notes
This wine is fresh, buoyant, and aromatic, offering lovely red berry fruits on the nose, supported by a lifted floral potpourri character and secondary aromas of stony minerality, crushed earth, and graphite. The palate is lithe and mouth pleasing with a supple texture that provides juicy black currant, cassis, black cherry, and blackberry compote notes alongside savory notes of chaparral sagebrush, dark chocolate, and cedar spice. Incredibly approachable upon release, this Cabernet is medium bodied with fine-grained, polished tannins that give freshness and vivacity with a poised structure, leading to a long and satisfying finish.
Blend: 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah, 4% Charbono, 3% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Touriga Nacional

JS 94
"Plenty of blackcurrant with dark chocolate and coffee character. It's full-bodied, yet the tannins are succulent and rather weightless, giving a velvety texture at the end. So delicious now."
WS 92
"A polished and inviting style, with warm cassis and gently mulled plum fruit flavors gliding through atop pretty mocha, singed vanilla and loam accents..."
