The 2018 Heritage Selection is full bodied and smooth, with bright blue and dark berry fruits, mocha, exotic spice and minerality across the palate. The finish is long with silky tannins that will support aging beautifully for the next 20+ years but is crafted to achieve balance and character suitable for enjoyment upon release.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Selection, from the back part of the property, is plump, juicy and full of character. Inky dark fruit, mocha, floral notes and spice . All the elements come together so nicely. Picking a bit earlier than in the past helps preserve freshness as well as energy. Time in the glass brings out the wine's volume and resonance. The juicy, creamy style works well here. Inky dark red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal and new leather build into the resonant finish. I find a bit better balance here than in the Alluvial Selection.

Lots of bright blue and darker berry fruits, dark chocolate, scorched earth, and violet notes emerge from the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Selection, a rich, medium to full-bodied Cabernet that's going to benefit from bottle age. It picks up an almost Graves-like gravelly earth and mineral component with time in the glass, and it’s a wine that grows on you. Give bottles a healthy decant if drinking any time soon, and it will ideally be given 4-5 years of bottle age. Rating: 94+
