Wine Description

This is a massive and dense wine, inky in color with cassis, lavender, hints of mint, espresso, and black peppercorn. It exhibits a beautiful dark nose of red, purple and black fruits with savory spice accents and pretty floral notes ” sweet peas and flowering thyme. It has a super silky entry with loads of fine espresso tannins, and texture for minutes. Just a baby at this stage, it will need another 6 months of bottle age before its truly ready. 290 cases produced.
Blend : 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot

JD – March 23, 2023

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch Vineyard, which includes 9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, is another incredible wine from this winemaker. Revealing a deep purple hue as well as a killer bouquet of cassis, currants, lead pencil, graphite, and violets, it hits the palate with a full-bodied, sumptuous, layered mouthfeel that carries lots of velvety tannins as well as remarkable freshness. It’s certainly a large-scaled, voluptuous 2018, yet it still has that vintage’s laser-like focus as well as structure. It benefits from a decant if drinking any time today, but it’s going to drink nicely for 20 years or more.
VIN – March 23, 2023

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Ranch is a super-classy, elegant wine. The bright acids so typical of this site confer real energy and vibrancy throughout. This mid-weight, powerful Cabernet has so much going on. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, licorice and menthol are beautifully laced together, but more than anything else, the 2018 impresses with its persistence and overall freshness. It’s a beautifully done wine from Helen Keplinger.
