93 POINTS — Wine Spectator
"Dark and winey, with a beam of steeped black currant, acai reduction and melted black licorice notes that are compressed together seamlessly, supported by a terrific loamy spine. Ends with a flourish of warm earth and smoldering tobacco. Leans to heft rather than purity, but can’t be denied.
Winemaker Notes
"The 2018 Vine Cliff Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep garnet-purple color. It prances out of the glass with scents of stewed plums, warm cassis, bay leaves and cedar chest. Suggestions of cinnamon stick and sandalwood with a waft of tobacco leaf rounds out the nose. The medium to full-bodied palate is coated with juicy black fruits and a plush texture; offering oaky accents and an herbal lift to finish."
