Clif Family Winery 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Croquet Vyd, Howell Mtn

Tasting Notes: A classic Croquet Vineyard Cabernet, this wine shows off aromas of deep, dark fruits such as plum, blackberry and blueberry, followed by dried herbs, tobacco and toasted oak. This mountain Cabernet has exceptional balance and elegance with big, yet seamless tannin structure from entry to finish.

• 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck,“... Playing in the medium- to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it’s seamless, lightly textured, and beautifully balanced on the palate ...”

• 93 Points, Wine Spectator, “... Muscular yet lively, this packs boysenberry, black currant and loganberry notes, zesty, savory and sassafras accents..."

• 91 Points/2 Stars, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, “ ... more than moderately tannic yet manages to hold on to its dense, always articulate fruit in a way that engenders optimism about where it's headed. Time is definitely on its side ...”
