he 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon captures the pure expression of our unique terroir at Lancaster Estate. It is a blend of all five of the red Bordeaux varietals we have planted on our volcanic hillside vineyards. The nose is rich with aromas of dark plum, tobacco and black pepper. The palate is deep and concentrated with flavors of black cherry, dark stone fruit, dried sage and a subtle earthiness. This wine should be decanted when young, and will only gain in complexity for the next 15-20 years.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 7% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. It has a medium ruby color and pretty scents of red and black cherries, cast iron, exotic spices, dried herbs and floral hints. The palate is gorgeous, with Goldilocks ripeness, very finely grained tannins and bursts of freshness, finishing very long and layered. This deserves another 2-3 years in bottle and will age well in the cellar.
