Description

Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage production: 125 cases

The Sugarloaf Vineyard (aka Sugarloaf Mountain Vineyard) is located in the far southeast of Napa Valley, which is a much cooler part of the region due to the influence of the marine breezes from the nearby San Pablo Bay.

It sits on of two distinct soil types: black rock and red volcanic rock, large ‘galets’ of which radiate heat in the evening to protect the vines. The wines here are classically dark and intense, with the longer growing season giving them an age-worthy style.

The 2018 spent 20 months in 100% new French oak.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Jeb Dunnuck 94+

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sugarloaf Vineyard displays a rich, darker purple color as well as solid notes of ripe black fruits, dark chocolate, cedarwood, graphite, and leafy herbs and tobacco. It s nicely balanced, full-bodied, has a wonderful sense of purity, and a great finish. It s a classic 2018 with it pure, focused, age-worthy style. I d give bottles 3-5 years of bottle age, and it should evolve for 20+ years or more. It s impressive and probably the finest version of this cuvee I ve tasted from the estate, surpassing even the 2015 and 2016. [27/01/2021]

Anticipated maturity: 2024-2047

2017 Unwritten, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x75cl

WI94+
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Production: 142 cases Unwritten is a true insider's secret, known only to those with an inside track. The inaugural 2014 vintage was an instant sell-out,... taking pride of place on the lists of two Napa culinary institutions: The French Laundry, and Press. It has since become one of the hottest tickets in Napa. The fruit for this remarkable Cabernet comes from the historic Lewelling Vineyard in the western foothills of Napa's famed Saint Helena AVA, a stones throw from the Beckstoffer Dr Crane, Spottswoode and Abreu Madrona Ranch vineyards - the A-list neighbourhood. This is a Cabernet that ticks all the boxes: perfect bottle age from an epic vintage, drinking beautifully now, rare as hen's teeth, poured at one of the greatest 3* restaurants in the world.

2018 Aperture, Del Rio Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley 12x75cl

JD97
Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage production: 450 cases From one of the steepest hillside vineyards at the top of Chalk Hill Road in the southeast corner of Alexander Valley, this exquisite... site creates incredibly gorgeous wines with delicate, soft tannins that melt into the juicy dark fruits of this powerful Cabernet. The grapes are hand-harvested and delivered to the winery within hours of being picked. Every cluster is methodically and obsessively sorted through 3 sets of sorting tables before being optically sorted to specific preferences. The berries then cold soak for 4-7 days with minimal air incorporation, allowing for complex colour and tannin extraction. Native yeast carry out cooler fermentations to preserve the unique aromas of the terroir. Air and temperature are controlled throughout the 14-24 day fermentation, and extended maceration is determined lot by lot to maintain the fine line between full extraction and keeping an elegant, silky texture. Wines go through malolactic fermentation naturally in barrel and are aged (sur-lie) for 22 months.
