2018 The Elders Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum (1.5L)
The Elders stands as our signature Cabernet Sauvignon, proudly featuring the oldest and most cherished blocks from our family ranch. As the longest-standing farming family in the Stags Leap District, spanning five generations, we pay homage to our ancestors with the name "The Elders," honoring the enduring legacy that has shaped our vineyards and wines over the years.
The 2018 release of The Elders Cabernet Sauvignon offers a captivating array of bold, intriguing, and intricate aromas that gracefully unfold on the nose. It opens with deep, concentrated tones of blackberry, vanilla bean, and a touch of baking spice. The palate presents an elegant medley of flavors, featuring blackberry pie, red currant, and a delightful liveliness enhanced by subtle notes of molasses. This wine requires no additional pairing; its perfect setting is a plush leather wing-backed chair by a flickering, toasty fire.
