2018 Lancaster Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon

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.
