Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker Notes
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.
James Suckling – 93 Points
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 organically grown grapes. Try after 2022.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with seared steak, Gorgonzola gnocchi, beef bourguignon, BBQ ribs, rack of lamb, or ratatouille.
