2018 VINE CLIFF NAPA VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON From James Suckling, “Aromas of blackberries and blueberries with hints of bark and black mushrooms, following through to a full body with dense, rich tannins and a savory finish.” 93 Points From Jeb Dunnuck, “…a solid value offering lots of classic Napa Cabernet dark, cassis and currant-like fruits as well as plenty of spice, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and loamy earth nuances. These carry to a ripe, medium to full-bodied, plush Cabernet with sweet tannins and a solid 10-15 years of prime drinking ahead of it.” 91 Points Winery Notes: “The 2018 Vine Cliff Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a polished, yet brooding wine, with a deep garnet hue from layers of rich fruit. On the nose, aromatics of black cherry, briar, anise, sweet pipe tobacco, dark chocolate, and brined black olives; intermingle with hints of dried green herbs and sweet oak. On the palate, fine grained tannins give way to a silky and rich texture; balanced with dark black fruits of black cherry and cassis, blackberries, Satsuma plum, black tea, and mint. The wine finishes up with a bright ribbon of red raspberry”
