Score 94/100 · Drink 2023-2040, Jeb Dunnuck, Jan 2021

A wine that needs a few years of bottle age, the 2018 Red Wine H Block Hudson Vineyards checks in as 56% Cabernet Franc and 44% Merlot and offers a relatively reserved yet potential-laced bouquet of red and black fruits, chocolate, toasted spices, and dried tobacco. These carry to a full-bodied, concentrated, textured wine with plenty of tannins, rock-solid overall balance, and a great finish. It opens up with time in the glass, but the smart money is on hiding bottles for 2-4 years, and it should evolve for 15 years thereafter.

The 2018 Red Blend H Block Hudson Vineyard is composed of 56% Cabernet Franc and 44% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with gregarious scents of kirsch, black raspberries, wild blueberries and red roses with hints of pencil shavings, garrigue and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense black and red fruit layers, framed by firm, ripe tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and perfumed.
