From: Napa Valley, California
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes: The 2018 Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon greets you with aromas of tobacco and crushed blackberries. On the palate it is poised and fresh. Flavors of black fruit are buttressed by orange rind and warm tannins.
Tasting from barrel, critic Antonio Galloni described the '18 Ranch as "dark and resonant ... precise and nuanced ... mid-weight yet rich ..." Winemaker Diana Seysses likes the "aromas of tobacco and crushed blackberries." 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Pool Block, their lowest site at 650 feet, and the Lost Orchard Vineyard on the top of the property. Harvested in late September 2018.
