This elegant powerhouse hails from highly-esteemed, volcanic Napa areas such as the Pritchard Hill area, Howell Mountain, Atlas Peak, and Hertelendy's very own Rockwell Ridge estate vineyard (35 feet below Howell Mountain). Barrel aged 23 months in 90% New French and Hungarian Oak.

Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec, 1% Merlot

Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The very deep purple-black colored 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec and 1% Merlot. It opens with vibrant fresh blackberry, cassis and redcurrant jelly scents with wafts of pencil lead, tar and fragrant earth. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of bright, crunchy red and black fruits, supported by grainy tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and earthy.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, and the balance Malbec and Merlot. Beautiful crème de cassis, blueberries, flowers, cedarwood, tobacco, and rocky, mineral-like notes emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless texture, building tannins, and a great finish. This rich, powerful 2018 has the vintage's purity and freshness, stunning overall balance, and the class to evolve for 20 years or more.

Wine Enthusiast
With thick tannins and a big style on offer, this wine spent 23 months in barrel and is undeniably opulent, concentrated and generous in oak. Black fruit dominates around secondary notes of dried herb, clove and pleasant layers of earth. With structure and complexity, it should do well in the cellar; enjoy best 2028 through 2038.

Blackberries, cocoa, dried herbs and crushed gravel. It’s medium-bodied with fine, powdery tannins. Concentrated and focused.
