2018 Vilafonte Series C

Beginning impeccably balanced and generous on the nose, the 2018 Series C is wrapped in elegant baking spices from the almost 70% new French oak. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 14% Malbec and 11% Cabernet Franc, the wine bursts with finesse, precision, elegance and juicy dark fruit. Full-bodied, the Series C boasts juicy blackberry essence, notes of black raspberry cobbler, toasted pie crust and cedar cigar box in the mouth, with pure balance, fine-grained tannins, succulent acidity and a mineral tension across the mid-palate. It ends with a long, winding finish that evolves with persistence. This vintage marks another successful bottling. The only downside is that only 36 barrels were made. This is highly collectible stuff!
