2018 Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, USA (375 mL) HALF BOTTLE

WINEMAKER'S NOTE: This 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley epitomizes the purity of structure and place. Powerful on the nose, this full-bodied wine has a dense core of forest strawberries and sweet cranberries with the warm essence of vanilla bean and subtle nuances of sandalwood. Soft tannins create a round mouthfeel with dense notes of blackberries underscored with a hint of rosemary and cloves. The midpalate is dense with balanced acidity that supports a satisfying, velvety aftertaste. TASTING NOTES: Blackcurrant, cigar box, cedar and savoury toast aromas. Layers of blackberry and black cherry with well-integrated oak and supple tannins. Plush palate, bright cassis finish. Blend : 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot - Decanter, 94 pts.  Plenty of blackcurrants, flowers and sandalwood on the nose, following through to a full body with tight, creamy tannins that give the wine polish and beauty. Give it a year or two to soften, but already very attractive. From organic
