The Debate Sacrashe Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Critical Acclaim: 97 pts Wine Enthusiast; 95 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: The color is dark black oil with touches of scarlet and lipstick on the rim. On the nose there is beautiful balance between fruit, spices and herbs with touches of espelette pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and rosemary, lingering on dark cherry preserve and fern. On the palate there is a silky entrance evolving on a fresh mid-palate with granular tannins, touches of mulberry, persimmon and plum, lingering on gingerbread and lilac. 

"Thick and concentrated in red berry and cassis, this wine features oak that is moderate yet present, with a mineral-like underbelly of stone and earth. Granular, muscular and lasting in baking spice, tea and clove, it showcases the great site, the vintage and the winemaking all in one with ease and elegance."- Wine Enthusiast. 

"Sporting a very deep opaque purple color, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sacrashe Vineyard charges out of the gate with energetic scents of crushed blackberries, black cherries and black currant cordial, followed by hints of cedar chest, clove oil, violets and mocha plus a waft of black truffles. The full-bodied palate is laden with tightly wound, crunchy black fruits with lots of earthy and savory nuances and a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and mineral laced."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
