2018 | 10,000 Hours Wines | Cabernet Sauvignon

Black cherry, plum, warm vanilla, and espresso bean on the nose. Huge entry on the palate leads to a super-rich, dense mid-palate with round, chewy tannins. Long finish, driven by black fruit notes and hints of toast.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain comes from the Aquilini vineyard and boasts a fresh, dark fruit and nose with dusty florals and vanilla-tinged baking spices. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is balanced, focused and layered with expressive, juicy fruit tones of black raspberry, dark plum and juicy currant before displaying fine-grained tannins with elements of crème brûlée and toasted coconut. Concluding with a delicious and delightful finish, this should continue to please for another five to six years. Just over 20,000 bottles were filled after resting 18 months in 85% new American oak. Give it a try; it’s punching above his weight class.

• James Suckling: A full-bodied red with berry and chocolate character. Some hazelnut, too. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a savory finish. Plenty of vanilla at the end. Rather opulent style. Drink or hold.
