2018 Cabernet Sauvignon / Dry Creek Valley

Our 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon / Dry Creek Valley doesn’t just arrive,  it owns the moment. The first swirl opens with layered aromas of ripe blackberry, cassis, dried plum, and a lift of cedar and tobacco leaf, followed by hints of mocha, graphite, and crushed rosemary. On the palate, dark fruit depth meets a core of espresso bean, toasted oak, and clove, with a subtle thread of anise and savory earth keeping everything grounded and complex. The finish is long, firm, and silky, unraveling into dark chocolate, black cherry compote, and a touch of smoked spice that lingers like a confident goodbye. Powerful, polished, and unmistakably Dry Creek, this Cabernet is built for bold meals, big moments, and anyone who wants a wine with real presence.

If this wine were a song, it would be “Barracuda” (Heart). It is edgy and unapologetically bold, with the kind of driving intensity that fits this Cab’s dark fruit and long, commanding finish.
