Let's start with 2016... you know, the all-time great Napa Cab vintage we love to talk about (and buy almost any chance we get). Along with the rich fruit, and succulent texture, the velvet mouthfeel is simply the ideal for a bold Napa Cabernet. The 2017 is a sleeper whose rich structure and substantial backbone will continue to reward after years of careful cellaring. Suckling's #8 Wine of the Year in his 2020 TOP 100 list, this wine and layered, elegant, and still very approachable in its youth. Which brings us to the 2018. With a deep concentration that emanates intensity and power, this wine possesses all the hallmarks of an exceptional Napa cab. Fresh, ripe berry notes of blackberry, black cherry, creme de cassis, and dark plum all combine, offering a plush, juicy, mouthwatering character that is approachable in youth while maintaining a structure that will allow it to age gracefully for years to come. This highly sought-after vertical is not to be missed!
