    Behrens Family Winery Cemetery Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a testament to the artistry and dedication of winemaker Les Behrens. This remarkable wine, emerging from the rich terroir of Napa Valley, showcases the pinnacle of what Behrens Family Winery, formerly known as Behrens and Hitchcock Winery, has to offer. The 2018 vintage marks a poignant chapter in the winery’s history, being the last bottling of Cemetery Cabernet Sauvignon until the anticipated release of the 2021 vintage, due to the unfortunate loss of the 2019 and 2020 vintages.

    The wine presents itself in a mesmerizing purple-black color with garnet edges, a visual prelude to its depth and complexity. On the nose, it unfurls an aromatic bouquet brimming with plum, blackberry, and a hint of cinnamon, creating an inviting allure that beckons the taster into its world. The palate is greeted with firm, integrated tannins that weave through the wine, giving it body and structure, while balanced acidity injects vitality, accentuating the nuanced layers of licorice, espresso, and boysenberry. This ensemble of flavors and textures moves with power and grace, making the Behrens Family Winery Cemetery Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 a complete and compelling experience.

    The critical acclaim surrounding this wine speaks volumes about its quality and the esteem in which it is held. Awarded 96 points by Wine Advocate, the deep purple-black colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cemetery Napa Valley is celebrated for its “wonderfully gregarious scents of crushed red and black currants, warm plums, black raspberries and cigar box with wafts of violets, tilled soil and black olives.” The full-bodied, rich, and decadent palate is supported by a beautiful frame of fine-grained tannins and just enough freshness, culminating in a long, layered finish. These accolades underscore the exceptional craftsmanship of Les Behrens and the Behrens Family Winery team, solidifying the Behrens Family Winery Cemetery Cabernet Sauvignon’s status as a standout offering from the esteemed Behrens wine portfolio.

    In essence, the Behrens Family Winery Cemetery Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is more than just a wine; it is a narrative of resilience, innovation, and passion. Each sip tells a story of the meticulous care and vision that defines the Behrens family’s approach to winemaking. From its visually striking appearance to its intricate flavor profile and the critical acclaim it has garnered, this wine is a fitting homage to the legacy of Behrens and Hitchcock Winery and a beacon for the future of Behrens Family wines. As the last bottling of its kind for a time, it stands as a precious testament to the craft of winemaking at Behrens Family Winery, inviting connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike to savor a piece of Napa Valley’s vinicultural excellence.

    Wine Advocate
    Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Cemetery rolls effortlessly out of the glass with open-knit scents of fresh black and red currants, ripe blackberries and black raspberries, giving way to nuances of red roses, cedar chest, pencil lead and clove oil. Full-bodied, the palate delivers tightly wound layers of black fruit preserves and baking spices, framed by firm, grainy tannins and tons of freshness, finishing long and with great purity.
