Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Elevation 1147 has reached its tenth birthday in great shape. It is a bit more aromatic and less overtly fruit-driven than the decidedly more opulent Old Vine Cabernet. Sweet dried red fruit, tobacco, cedar, kirsch and perfumed floral/savory overtones weave together in a fabric of notable class.

This is very focused and condensed with characters of blackberroes, forest floor, mushrooms and chocolate. Full-bodied, dense and chewy with very polished tannins, which give this wine exceptional form and tension. Bright fruit and impressive intensity. Needs four to five years to soften. Try in 2022.
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Elevation 1147 has the darker, more spiced profile found in the Three Acre with the lift and freshness of the Old Vine. All the elements come together nicely in this super-expressive Pritchard Hill Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2015 is wonderfully dense and lush, and yet retains quite a bit of freshness.
Aromatically lifted but dense on the palate, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Elevation 1147 is shaping up to be terrific. The Elevation has a bit more mid-palate density and sweetness than the Old Vine, but it, too, is compelling.
