Tasting notes
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley rolls out of the glass with expressive scents of black and red currant jelly, ripe black plums and black cherries plus suggestions of rose oil, cedar chest and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers a straight-up great Napa Cabernet experience, offering bags of juicy black fruits and plenty of freshness, backed up by a soft texture and finishing satisfyingly fruity. Delicious Napa Cab at a very fair price!

The appellation 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a solid wine, giving up lots of spiced red and black fruits, classic Cabernet tobacco and graphite notes, medium to full-bodied richness, and a great finish. It shows the elegant, lively style of the vintage yet certainly leads with its fruit. It's ideal for enjoying over the coming 8-10 years, and there's no need to delay gratification.
Salvestrin's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is an attractive, fruity wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Blackberry, mocha, spice, new leather and licorice are nicely pushed forward in this inviting, mid-weight Cabernet.
