Heiner Lobenberg über:
Napa Cabernet 2018

97–98
/100

Lobenberg: Präsentiert sich auf Anhieb sehr zugänglich: Blaubeeren, Kakao, geräucherter Speck und Brombeeren. Wunderbar polierte Tannine führen in den sehr langen und verführerischen Abgang hinein. Johannisbeere und orientalische Gewürze hallen lange nach. Die perfekte Symbiose aus Margaux, Pauillac und Napa. Großartiges Gleichgewicht ausstrahlend, dabei geschliffen und ungeheuer kraftvoll. Einer der wirklich großen Cabernets der neuen Welt. 97-98/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Napa Cabernet

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Taking lots of air to show at its best, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a brilliant, classic, age-worthy wine from this great estate. It certainly shows the more structured, vibrant style of the 2018 vintage with lively acids, yet it has utterly classic Cabernet crème de cassis and almost blue fruits as well as Bordeaux-like notes of lead pencil, cedarwood, tobacco, and assorted floral nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it brings rock-solid intensity, perfectly ripe yet building, firm tannins, and again, the vintage's freshness, purity, and elegance. It reminds me of a top Saint-Julien and classic, old school, structured Cabernet that will reward bottle age. It needs 7-8 years to hit maturity (it's approachable today with a healthy decant), and I have no doubt this will be a 30- to 40-year wine. 97/100

Parker über: Napa Cabernet

-- Parker: Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers up intense notes of crushed black currants, fresh blackberries and ripe red plums with hints of pencil lead, black raspberries, underbrush and unsmoked cigars plus a touch of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers bold, crunchy black and red berry layers with a lively backbone and firm, grainy tannins, finishing long and energetic. 1,470 cases were made. 96+/100

Galloni über: Napa Cabernet

-- Galloni: The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is sensual and polished. Bright acids lend energy as this super-finessed Cabernet opens in the glass. Crushed red berry fruit, cedar, rose petal and mint all open with a bit of coaxing. The 2018 is going to need a number of years to be at its very best. It is elegant, nuanced and simply impeccable, but also a bit reticent at this stage. Readers who are familiar with these wines know they need time to come into their own. If that is not possible, I suggest opening it well in advance, even a day or two. 96+/100

Falstaff über: Napa Cabernet

-- Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feines Cassis, aber auch Heidelbeeren und Lakritze sind unterlegt, ein Hauch von Nougat und Tabak. Saftig, frische rote Herzkirschen, seidige Tannine, finessenreicher Säurebogen, sehr elegant und harmonisch, salzige Mineralität im Abgang, bereits sehr verführerisch. 96/100
