2018 Mount Eden Vineyards, Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains, California, USA

Description

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a prime example of the transparency provided by this vintage throughout California. The nose is a beautifully balanced mixture of mulberry, redcurrant, pumice, and charred herbs. The palate displays classic Mount Eden elegance and bristles with soft but persistent acidity. The finish is bracing, tannic, and chewy, with a tight core of dark fruits gaining intensity in the glass. This is a lovely, age-worthy expression of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Drink 2028 - 2048
