"Made by Robert Pepi, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley includes 10% Howell Mountain Merlot and spent 30 months in 40% new French oak. It's fragrant and cedary on the nose, but the wood is backed by attractive cherry and loam shadings. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky in feel on the palate, finishing with decent length and echoes of cherries and vanilla."

"An intense character of ripe dark fruit, toasted oak, sweet spices and smoke. Full-bodied with sweetish, mellow fruit, ripe tannins and a long, fruity finish. 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% merlot."
