Tasting notes
This wine comes from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that was planted in 2001 on Aiken soil at the top of the Napa side of Spring Mountain. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kaliholmanok Kicu Me Vineyard comes bounding out of the glass with exuberant notes of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and dark chocolate plus hints of cedar chest, Indian spices and Provence herbs. Full-bodied, with firm and grainy tannins, the palate has a rock-solid, muscular core of bright, crunchy black fruit and lovely freshness, finishing with great length and loads of mineral sparks. 114 cases were made.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kaliholmanok is positively stunning. Sumptuous, racy and silky, with soaring aromatics, the 2018 is so impressive. All the best elements of this site come together in a Cabernet Sauvignon that dazzles with its elegance and purity. Inky red/purplish fruit, blood orange, mint and cinnamon infuse the 2018 with tons of nuance. It is also one of the best and most pedigreed wines I have tasted from Aaron Pott. In a word: superb.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Kaliholmanok soars out of the glass with a stunning bouquet and seemingly endless layers of nuance. Bright, sculpted and utterly breathtaking in its beauty, the Kaliholmanok is easily one of the very best wines I have ever tasted from Aaron Pott.
