Tasting notes
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Twins Vineyard is a wild, exotic wine. Crushed ripe raspberry, blood orange, spice, mint, cinnamon, sweet French oak and star anise give the 2018 striking inner perfume and flavor profile that is highly unusual. I have never tasted anything like it. The Three Twins is sourced from one of the very finest vineyards sites in all of Napa Valley.

Deep purple-black colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Twins Vineyard waltzes out of the glass with baked blackcurrants, stewed plums and fruitcake scents with hints of espresso, tar and fertile loam. Medium to full-bodied, the taut, tightly wound, black-fruited palate has a firm frame of grainy tannins and lovely freshness providing lift on the long, earthy finish.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Twins Vineyard is another beautiful wine. Loads of blue fruits, violets, graphite, and tobacco all emerge from this gorgeous wine, followed by full-bodied richness, building tannins, a gravelly, earthy, Graves-like minerality, and a gorgeous finish. It needs 2-3 years, but it’s brilliant.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Three Twins Vineyard is powerful, tannic and savory, with tons of hillside character. Although embryonic, the 2018 has tons of potential.
