The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Vaso is cut from the same cloth, offering beautiful purity and richness. It’s slightly more pure and darker than the spicier 2017 and has notes of cassis, redcurrants, dark chocolate, tobacco, and violets. Full-bodied on the palate, it has silky tannins, terrific overall balance, and just loads of character and charm.

Great old world style cab from CA. Graphite nose with blackberry, blueberry, baking spice and mint Flavors start out interestingly earth driven with graphite, spice and soil then lead to fruit notes of blueberry and blackberry. Short length dry finish. --Seth Ransom

Two hour slow ox, followed by a one hour decant. Deep, dark, plummy magenta color. Gingerbread, Korean plum, wild strawberry, dreamsicle, and subtle white pepper on the nose. Very smooth, tongue drying palate. Soft tannins on the longish finish. Palate is great, but the finish is a bit lacking.

What an angel! This entry-level wine from one of Montalcino’s most consistent producers is made from the estate’s younger vines, all of which are Brunello-designated. Enticing aromas of ripe red cherries and strawberries are framed in chalky, earthy notes. The palate brings in more succulent fruit and spice to the structured, full-body.

Winemaker Notes The 2017 vintage of The Discussion is a majestic and elegant wine that immediately demands attention with alluring aromas of black cherry compote, chocolate-covered blueberry, fig and cinnamon. As it opens up, hints of clove, toasted hazelnut and espresso bean emerge. On the palate, juicy blueberry, raspberry and pomegranate flavors meld with creamy oak to create a generous and palate structure, with focused tannins with hints of sage and spice adding complexity to a long, stately finish. --Vince B

Earth, crushed rose petals, black cherries and raspberries, plums and wood spice. Excellent delineation and balance but a little lacking in concentration and depth. Still, a very elegant and pedigreed Vosne. This wine really transported me to the two times I took an early morning stroll on the narrow dirt road that separated La Grand Rue and Romanee Conti. An extra half star for taking me there. A nice treat. --Burgnut

YJAR 2017, is really beyond the vintage, delivering a wonderful wine in such a challenging vintage. It has a deep bright garnet color. Its nose gracefully gets out of the glass with a complex, fragrant, and harmonious notion of black raspberries figs, spicy notes of star anise, cloves and green pepper, with a core of warm red and black currants and a touch of pencil lead and dark chocolate. Rich intense and medium to full-bodied wine with round and layered silky tannins with a polished mouthfeel than vibrates with the chalky texture and fresh intensity that gives its very long finish.

The 2018 vintage was a long, slightly cool season, devoid of heat spikes and late rains which offered ample hangtime through a glorious autumn for the fruit to mature without losing its underpinning structure and true character. The beauty of this ridgetop vineyard is its ability to produce wines of structure and balance. Our 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the essence of Mount Veeder, a beguiling balance of complex, sophisticated aromatics and fruit intensity wed to a core of taut yet silky tannins. Notes of cassis, lingonberry, black cherry, and crushed cocoa come to the fore with hints of violets, thyme, black tea, and kirsch all layer on a bed of velvety tannin.

Deep red ruby robe. The nose already reveals concentrated aromas of red berries, and fruits confits, with touches of oaks. When drinking, the concentration explodes in mouth, fruits are accompanied with a rich terroir, soon followed by pepper, spices. Tannins are still strong, revealing a time too early to drink. --Jean-Marie Charollais

Dark, big and bold, with layers of crisp Cabernet Sauvignon character, you also find bitter chocolate, espresso, cigar wrapper and herbs. Full-bodied, tannic and concentrated, the wine is rich, juicy, chewy and long. The finish serves up ample waves of sweet and tart red berries, cocoa, peppery spice and herbs. This is a great value wine.
