Powerful in flavor yet almost delicate in texture, this soothing but deep wine offers ethereal mint, cinnamon and nutmeg aromas followed by lush cassis, blueberry and cappuccino flavors. Generous fine-grained tannins gradually coat the palate and help extend the complex flavors through a lingering finish.

Another cuvée from the estate in St. Helena, the 100% varietal 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon RLC spent 20 months in 60% new barrels. This medium to full-bodied, elegant red has classic blackberry and black cherry fruits, notes of tobacco leaf, cedarwood, and chocolate, silky tannins, and a terrific sense of purity and balance, which are the hallmarks of the vintage. It’s ideal for enjoying over the coming 10-15 years.

A lush and inviting style, with waves of cassis, mulled plum and blackberry fruit that are enhanced by sage and sweet bay leaf hints. A subtle roasted alder spine guides the finish. Drink now through 2028. 474 cases made.
