Tasting notes
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bear Point Vineyard was aged for 20 months in 43% new oak. It's loaded with gregarious aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, lavender, fresh sage and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied with abundant, grainy tannins, seamless acidity and concentrated, floral flavors. It's still somewhat flinty and will benefit from 3 to 5+ years in the bottle. 1,091 cases were made.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bear Point Vineyard is a wine of power, tension and energy. Bright acids run through a core of black fruit, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice, and chocolate. This brooding, potent Cabernet has a lot to offer. All it needs is time to allow the tannins to soften a bit. There's a lot of wine here.
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Bear Point Vineyard has more medicinal herb on the nose as well as notes of menthol, fresh sage, dark mineral earth, and compact black cherry. The palate is fleshy through the mid-palate, with the structure coming together to lend more savory richness. The finish is long and gives way to its mineral profile. Drink 2026-2046.
