The first commercial vintage from this longtime grape-growing family, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon was made by Joel Aiken (ex BV). After 27 days on skins, the wine matured in 60% new French oak (Seguin Moreau Icône). Black cherries lead the way on the nose, gently framed by cedar and vanilla shadings, with a pleasant herbal nuance adding complexity. It's medium to full-bodied and supple in the mouth, with a silky feel and more savory, loam-like characters on the lingering finish.
