   The medium to full-bodied 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville Old Vine leads with scents of cassis, mint, dark chocolate and loamy earth. There’s enough oak to lend supporting structure, but it doesn’t dominate the olfactory or gustatory facets of this wine, which is ripe and concentrated but also streamlined and silky, ending in a lingering, savory and complex finish.

   Ripe cassis, clove, cigar box, toast aromas. Fine tannins, bright acidity and good concentration of blackcurrant fruit with a spicy finish. Blend 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot

   One of the clear standouts here is the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville Selection, which has a concentrated, slightly rustic, yet still enjoyable and character-filled style, and it’s clearly well-made. Dark fruits, sous bois, tobacco, and damp earth all define the bouquet, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with firm tannins and good acidity. It should have 15 years of longevity.

   Baked blueberries, blackcurrants, ripe blackberries, nutmeg, licorice and peppercorns on the nose. Some ink and oyster shell too. Full-bodied, concentrated and compact with a dense core of black fruit supported by firm tannins. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2023.
